Unai Emery failed to guide Arsenal back into the Premier League’s top four

However, they do have one more chance of qualifying for next season’s tournament, but Arsenal have to beat Chelsea in the Europa League final later this month to claim a place in the European Cup.If the north Londoners do qualify for the Champions League it promises to be an exciting summer at the Emirates, but another season of Europa League football will temper expectations. And it won’t just be expectations that are reduced – it will be Arsenal’s transfer budget as well.According to BBC Sport, Arsenal will have a lowly 40million summer transfer budget if they are playing in the Europa League next season, whereas it will be ‘significantly’ higher should they qualify for the Champions League.This budget can of course increase through player sales, though it is almost impossible to sign an above-average player for under 50million – let alone any individual considered among the elite.
