Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is convinced of sustaining a title challenge.
A fourth Premier League crown would be Wenger's ideal target for this coming season, with another assault on the Champions League also in his mind.
With the extra money now at his disposal, he believes things are more even in Arsenal's fights with the elite.
"I would say that the balance of power is a bit more even than it was five or six years ago," said Wenger.
"With the financial fair play added to the fact we have more financial power than five years ago it gives us a better chance.
"The last two seasons it has changed because we had the financial power to do it, the seasons before we could not and I was sitting here saying where do we go next, but we managed to get into a better position."
