Chairman Sir Chips Keswick said that the enhanced player investment was sustainable and would be compliant with Uefa’s Financial Fair Play regulations but is now hoping for greater on-field consistency. Arsenal’s 3-1 Champions League defeat to Monaco on Wednesday was a huge blow but it did also follow a sequence of 15 wins in 19 matches, with the club third in the Premier League and in the FA Cup quarter-final. “On the field, the team has produced some strong results and the squad is looking fit and better balanced,” said Keswick. “However, we need to find our best form on a more consistent basis as we approach, what I hope will be, an exciting end to the season.”
