Arsenal are planning significant player sales in this summer's transfer window despite banking more than £120m in UEFA prize money from their run to the Champions League final.

The Gunners will face either Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain in the showpiece fixture in Budapest on May 30 after Tuesday's 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid completed a 2-1 aggregate victory.

The semi-final triumph secured £16m in prize money, taking their total this season to £122m. The club would earn a further £10m by winning the final and lifting the trophy for the first time.

The windfall, which follows prize money earnings of £101m for last season's run to the semis, provides another financial boost which strengthens Arsenal's hand in the upcoming transfer window.
