However, Josh, 45, wrote in Sunday’s match-day programme before the clash with Newcastle at the Emirates that the necessary investment will take place with new sporting director Andrea Berta on board.
The son of the Gunners’ majority shareholder Stan Kroenke added that the board are “crystal clear” on the transfer they want to make.
Josh wrote: “We’re still pursuing second place in the Premier League for the third year running, but we all want to win it.
“We plan to invest to get behind winning and doing better next season.
“Our sporting director, Andrea, will play an important role in this. We are crystal clear on exactly what we need to do and the way in which we want to do it”.
A number of Arsenal fans loved Josh’s confidence and the presence of a plan by the board.
One supporter tweeted: “That is the attitude.”
Another commented: “Hope they back it up this summer. No excuses.”

Arsenal look set for a busy summer as they are ready to land Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi for a whopping £50million.
The North Londoners are also looking for an elite striker, with many claiming that is the last piece of the jigsaw required to finally win their first Premier League title since 2004.
Arteta’s side are very keen on Newcastle superstar Alexander Isak but he will prove a very tough man to sign.
Therefore, Arsenal are also keeping tabs on the likes of Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
Gyokeres seems the likeliest candidate to move to the Emirates this summer.
The Gunners could land the Sweden international for just £60m and make him one of their highest earners with his proposed contract costing the Gunners over £7m a year.
Sesko had been a massive target since last summer before signing a new deal with Leipzig.
