Wenger: Arsenal have transfer targets

Arsenal 2012 jerseysmanager Arsene Wenger insists the club can afford to make a big-money purchase in the summer – if he finds the right man. The Gunners are set to strengthen their squad following another trophy-less campaign, which could yet end with them having to enter the play-off round to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League even if they beat Fulham in their final Premier League game today.

Wenger will aim to add experience to help his youngsters fulfil their potential with silverware, while also allowing those now surplus to requirements the opportunity to leave.Arsenal 2012 jerseyshave been linked with Bolton defenderGary CahillandEverton soccer jerseys centre-backPhil Jagielka. BothEngland soccer jerseys internationals would come with inflated pricetags, but the Frenchman, if he feels strongly enough about a player, would be prepared to lay out a large chunk of his reported 35m transfer warchest.

 

“I like English players,” Wenger said.”They are good, but I have said the inflation for them is always very high. It is always a lot of money, but if we have to spend we will do it, if we are really convinced. On one player, we can afford it, but it depends what will happen.

 

“We have lists – number one, two, three – and we will try to achieve them. Unfortunately it does not always go like planned. It is very difficult to make things happen. We will work on strengthening the team. We are definitely out on the market – that is for sure.”

 

While it has been well documented Wenger has funds at his disposal, with that set for both transfer fees and wages, a major summer shopping spree remains unlikely. “I will spend what is needed to spend,” he said.

“It is very difficult to go out and say, ‘we have so much money’, because then people wait for you. Like always we will try to buy at the right price, but we will try to invest. Our costs always go up – our wages go up, we renew contracts of the players, they know the prices which are available on the market, so the prices go up every year.”

 

As well as looking for a few fresh faces, Wenger is determined to tie up French duoSamir NasriandGael Clichyon new deals rather than allow the scenario of either walking away on a free transfer at the end of the 2011/12 campaign.

 

“We will sort that situation out quickly after the end of the season,” he stated. “We need to know very quickly. We won’t allow that (contracts expiring) to happen. It has to be resolved before the season starts again.”

 

WereArsenal 2012 jerseysto finish fourth tomorrow, Wenger accepts he could not deny it would represent a step backwards: “What will I say? I will say nothing. It is true.”

As for hishis team descent down the Premier League table, he attributes it to their upset loss to Birmingham City in the League Cup final on 27 February. “Overall I feel the season is decided by some key moments that happened a few weeks ago,” Wenger rued.
