Arsenal director Lord Harris has backed Arsene Wenger to
break the club transfer record on a new centre forward, with the long-serving
board member revealing funds are available to sign 'anyone but Cristiano
Ronaldo and Lionel Messi'.
Real Madrid star Karim Benzema is understood to be top of
Wenger's wanted list and Lord Harris, who closely monitors the north London
side's finances, has told Sportsmail there is a healthy balance of more than
£200million in the club's accounts.
The Carpetright owner, who left school aged 15 to become a
salesman, admitted the development of the Emirates Stadium previously limited
spending power but feels the Gunners are now in a position to cash in on their
investment and challenge for major European titles.
