'The board need to back Mikel Arteta... if they don't, he might not hang around': Arsenal legend David Seaman insists they MUST fund a spending spree - and make Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang an 'offer he can't refuse'

David Seaman has urged the Arsenal board to give Mikel Arteta the necessary funds in the transfer market - claiming that if they don't back the Spaniard, he may 'not hang around for too long'.

Arsenal ended a nightmare domestic season - in which they finished eighth in the Premier League - on a real high after lifting their 14th FA Cup by overcoming London rivals Chelsea 2-1 at Wembley in the final.

Despite the turbulent campaign, Arteta has hugely impressed during his opening months as manager at Arsenal, beating Liverpool late on in the Premier League while triumphing over Manchester City and then Chelsea to seal FA Cup glory.
