The Gunners' £6.7m pre-tax profit for 2013 represented a
fall from the £36.6m recorded in 2012, with funds from player sales in
particular accounting for the dip
Arsenal have announced their 2012-13 financial results,
revealing a £30 million drop in pre-tax profits from their 2011-12 figures.
The Gunners' group profit amounted to £6.7m for the
year-ending May 31, 2013 - while their pre-tax profit for the previous year
totalled £36.6m.
Robin van Persie's £24m move to Manchester United helped
account for a total of £47m in player sales although that figure fell short of
the £65.5m recuperated the year before, with the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Gael
Clichy and Samir Nasri leaving the club.
