ARSENAL PROFITS TOP £19MILLION

English Premier League club Arsenal recorded a pre-tax profit of £19.3million ($35.5million) in the last financial year.

The club, which is in its last season at Highbury before moving to a new stadium in north London, maintained football turnover at £115.1million despite a fall in broadcasting income.

Arsenal spent more than £94million on its new Emirates Stadium and the move is expected to increase match-day income by about £20million a season.
