Arsenal manager Unai Emery has been told he must deliver a return to the Champions League after spending £152million on new players in the summer.

The Gunners currently sit third in the table - which would be enough to secure their place - but Head of Football Raul Sanllehi has admitted anything less is not good enough, reports the Daily Mail.

Speaking at a fans' forum on Thursday night, he admitted: "We said to Unai that we just missed out on qualifying for the Champions League last year, but this year with a stronger squad, we expect you to do that."

It is not the first time the club's hierarchy have fronted up and met the fans.

In the past, they have held a series of forums, in which they take questions from supporters and clear up any ongoing issues.
