Having secured the services of Alexis Sanchez, Mathieu Debuchy, David Ospina and Calum Chambers to strengthen his squad while Bacary Sagna and Lukasz Fabianski left at the end of their contracts, Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger said he is very happy and that the club will do more business before the end of the transfer window on August 31st.
"I'm very happy because I did what I wanted, and I am still open to do more," said the Arsenal manager.
"Let's not forget that we are at the first of August today, and the
transfer window closes on the 31st. For years… I didn't sit with [the
media] here on the first of August having done quite a lot [of
business].
"We are a bit ahead of what we usually do, because the availability
on the market was bigger and earlier than before," explained Wenger.
"The bigger clubs have done their deals earlier, and when one starts
everybody follows, and that's why it was a bit quicker. Many clubs
decided to do it before the World Cup, and since the World Cup was over,
not a lot has happened. But I think the second half of August, the 15th
to 30th, will be busy again.
"Everyone takes a breather at the moment because everyone checks in
their preparation games what they still need. People have done the
biggest part of what they want to do and the last part will be done
after the preparation games to see what you miss."
Speaking further on the team and transfer rumours, Wenger admitted that the team Captain Vermaelen may leave the club and dismissed rumour linkingcertain players to the club, Juan Quintero for instance.
