The Gunners missed out on a top-four place in the Premier League, but still had the chance to reach the Champions League, by beating Chelsea in the Europa League final.
However, Emery’s side sunk to a 4-1 defeat in Baku and now face the prospect of playing in the Europa League once again next season.
Reports have claimed that Emery will have just £40million to spend in the summer window, while some of Arsenal’s transfer targets were waiting to see if the club would be playing in the Champions League.
When asked if Arsenal’s defeat to Chelsea will have an impact on the club’s transfer plans, Emery replied: “Maybe, but I think we are a big team.
“I think Arsenal is a big name in the world of football. A lot of players want to play here.
“We are in one process and we need, in this process, to be strong in our idea, to be strong in our way.
“It’s the reason we started this season. The idea was to get more competitive like a team, be closer to other teams, and we did that.
“At the moment, it’s not enough for our target, but the next week and next year that idea will continue in our minds.
“I don’t know our targets for next year, but the club is working to improve and do everything in our way.
“We have a lot of players who have the possibility to improve and grow up with us.
“For example, we have given a lot of youngsters their first experience of a final.
“I am positive for our future, creating our way with young players who are getting better in our way.”
