Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is set to see his transfer kitty boosted.
Despite a massive increase in turnover at the Emirates Stadium, there has been some concern over the impact of the credit crunch on the redevelopment of Highbury into flats and luxury apartments.
However, acting managing director Ken Friar revealed more than 90 purchasers have already completed deals to generate £39million, while 598 units of the 680 total have been pre-sold.
The extra revenue brought in from the development could, according to Friar, be channeled straight back into the team.
"The finances for the Highbury Square development have been ring-fenced so they are separate from our usual football business," he said.
"As such we have not budgeted for the profit and this allows the board to be flexible over its use as the money has not been earmarked for anything in particular.
"In that sense it will be a bonus.
"We have options available to us. For example, profits could be used to reduce the stadium debt or to strengthen the team if the manager wishes."
