Arsenal's accounts do not include the £30m gained from the sale of Cesc Fabregas, the £24m received for Samir Nasri or the £7m paid by Manchester City for Gael Clichy

A reduced income from property sales at the Highbury redevelopment and increase in player wages have played their part in the drops, but the figures do not include the sales of midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri to Barcelona and Manchester City respectively.

"We didn't have the same kind of profit from player sales that we had in the previous season and that explains the slight reduction in profit," added Gazidis.
