The next Arsenal boss will be handed a limited transfer budget this summer.
Arsenal are on the lookout for Arsene Wenger's replacement after the Frenchman announced this season would be his last in north London on Friday.
Luis Enrique remains the favourite to come in while former midfielder Mikel Arteta has also been linked with the vacant post.
But whoever replaces Wenger is likely to be afforded funds to make just one big summer signing when the transfer window reopens.
Around £50million is set to be made available and players will have to depart before more arrivals can come in.

Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno is on the wishlist, as is a new centre-half and holding midfielder.
The Gunners have spent big in the past two windows, restricting whoever comes in to replace Wenger.
Alexandre Lacazette arrived for a club-record £46.5m, a fee that was eclipsed by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January.

There are a number of players who could make way this summer, including Jack Wilshere.
The midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season and talks over an extension have stalled.
