UNAI EMERY has more than 40 million pounds to spend this summer if Arsenal does not reach the Champions League.
The artillery coach wants to reorganize his squad by bringing in at least FIVE players.

However, Emery faces a tight budget from Emirates bosses, unless he can rank among the top four after two seasons in the Europa League.
It seems more and more unlikely since the Gunners are sixth in the Prem.
Even if they did, his budget would be only about 60 million pounds.
The Spaniard wants two wingmen, two side and at least one central defender.
This prompted Arsenal to look for a buyer for £ 350,000 a week, Mesut Ozil – which does not feature in Emery's plans.

This also raises questions about the decision to let Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck go for free this summer.
Arsenal has spent £ 69m on Lucas Torreira, Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Matteo Guendouzi last summer.
But they could not afford to give a loan to Denis Suarez of Barcelona in January, while the Europa League's football detracted from their spending power.
Still, the Gunners could still earn money by winning the second-tier tournament of Europe, qualified for the Champions League.
But without this extra money, Emery will no longer have any room for maneuver in the window of summer transfers.
He knows that winger Barcelona, Suarez, will cost 18 million pounds when he wants to keep him in the Emirates, which would account for nearly half of his limited summer budget.
Emery recently said, "The club tells me it's not a good time to buy players, but they say it will be different in the summer.
"Then we will have chances to spend money and buy players.
