Arsene Wenger has spoken on the club’s
transfer plans to confirm that the he is working on bringing in new
players to strengthen his squad, but believes his current crop of
players are good enough to challenge for the Premier League title.
Arsenal were said to have a £70m
transfer budget at the beginning of the summer, but so far they have
brought in just one player when they added French Under-21 striker Yaya
Sanogo on a free transfer meaning they paid a minimal compensation fee
due to his age.
They have seen two bids rejected for
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, and also missed out on Real Madrid
forward Gonzalo Higuain who moved to Napoli for £34.5m with Arsenal
unwilling to meet the inflated fee once Real hiked the price from £23m.
Speaking on Emirates sponsored ‘Google
Hangout’ Wenger said: “We are still working on improving our squad. But
we have a base of young players, players who started in the Premier
League with us, like Wojciech Szczesny, Carl Jenkinson, Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain.
“That is why what we do is unique. Look
at our competitors, who in the last 10 years has started for them in the
Premier League and is still there now?
“I believe my squad have a special bond
and that they are on their way upwards, they are not over the hill, they
will get better. I am confident we will be stronger next season.”
