Alan Smith says Arsenal can capitalise on managerial changes at the top of the Premier League - if they spend their transfer funds wisely.
Hopeful
Despite insisting Arsenal must make signings this summer, Smith is hopeful the club can end their eight-year wait for a trophy next term.
"It's always hard to make a call until we see which players are signed but I'm feeling optimistic and I'm sure the fans are, too," he said.
"A club of Arsenal's size can't allow this run to go on much longer; they get 60,000 people every week paying top dollar to go and watch their team and they deserve success.
"I'm hoping it is not too far around the corner now and hopefully a trophy will come this season."
