Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has plans for the biggest spending spree of his career.
He is ready to break his transfer record to ensure he doesn't get caught in the slipstream of Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola's expected buying blitz this summer.
The Daily Star Sunday says he's targeted FIVE players worth between them £250MILLION in response to the pair making Manchester the spending capital of football.
Marco Reus, David Alaba, N'Golo Kante, Aymeric Laporte and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are on his list of top names as Wenger goes for broke.
A move for the fab five signals Wenger is ready to shred his purse-protecting reputation to ensure his final years at the club end in riches.
Arsenal go into the new season with a strong squad.
He wants to make it stronger and put up a decent fight for the title and Champions League.
