Arsène Wenger has admitted he is scared that Arsenal may be outgunned again in
the transfer market this summer, fearing that rivals Chelsea are to embark
on a spree of epic proportions.
“I’m afraid of what Chelsea
can do in the summer,” the Arsenal
manager said. “We have to be prepared for them to be one of the biggest
movers in terms of investment once the window opens.
“Even though they already have a great base to their squad, notably their
young players such as Oscar, Juan Mata, Ramires and Eden Hazard, I think
they will be busy during the window. We’ve heard a lot of talk about Falcao.
Some people say it’s already a done deal but I’ve heard nothing.”
Wenger’s comments about his rivals strengthening came on the day his squad
were weakened, for the short term at least, as he complained at the “harsh”
decision to uphold Olivier Giroud’s three-match ban.
