Arsenal’s Wenger confirms transfer talks have commenced

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed the he has begun transfer talks in a bid to strengthen his squad.

The Gunners have failed to gain any silverware in the past four seasons and the Frenchman is hoping to bring in some fresh faces during the summer.

He confirmed to Arsenal’s Matchday Programme that things were already underway in regards to transfer discussions.

“I have definite transfer targets and I have been talking to people but I will not tell you to who," he said.

"I believe the earlier you settle your team the better it is and the less anxiety you have.

"Overall I feel it is very dangerous to buy on (the strength of) the tournament, because sometimes there are players who are fresh and have not played the whole season.

"Everyone can have three weeks of glory as a football player. Ten years is a bit different."
