Arsenal 'decide to stick' with Mikel Arteta despite tame Europa League exit and dire Premier League season... with Kroenkes willing to sanction 'summer spending spree' to try and appease protesting fans

Arsenal have reportedly decided to stick with Mikel Arteta and are willing to provide him with transfer funds to splash this summer.

The Spaniard's future has been debated over the last 24 hours after the Gunners were knocked out of the Europa League in timid fashion to former boss Unai Emery's Villarreal side.

However, according to The Sun, the Kroenke family and technical director Edu still have faith that Arteta is the right man to lead the club and will not look to replace the 39-year-old.

Despite the financial strain the club will feel as a result of likely not being in Europe next season for the first time in over 25 years, owner Stan Kroenke is believed to still be willing to sanction two or three signings to try and win over fans.
