Last week, he said that extra television revenue for top-flight clubs, which starts flowing in from next season, should be used to buy players rather than cut ticket prices.

This week, he said the Gunners offered good value for money.

"It is a very complicated subject," he said when asked for his latest views on the ongoing row over ticketing.

"Our most expensive price is a fraction higher than the other clubs in London. Our most common ticket price is lower than many places in England. I don't think that we have a massive problem on that front."

He said it was "true we get more television income" than other leagues but said there was pressure to "pay for the players with a higher price".

He added: "You want the ticket prices to be as comfortable as possible for our fans. Our cheapest prices are cheaper than anywhere in London."
