Wenger says he’ll be ‘busy’ in January transfer window

“It’s not impossible”, said Wenger. He has not played for the Premier League leaders this campaign.

“I will be busy that is for sure”, Wenger told reporters.

The Gunners have been heavily linked with Basel’s Mohamed Elneny and the 23-year-old Egyptian has reportedly undergone a medical with the club.

“Unfortunately we can not announce anything at the moment about this player because nothing has been concluded”. Wilshere broke his fibula in pre-season training in early August and had surgery in September. “Considering England play the Euros on June 10, that is a long way”.

Arsene Wenger admits that French right-back Mathieu Debuchy might be allowed to leave the club in January so that he can increase his chances of playing at Euro 2016.

Arsenal fans around the Transfer Tavern celebrating the fact that they sit top of the Premier League heading into the New Year have seen the discussions quickly alter, amid confirmation that a first-team ace could be lost.

But the Arsenal boss suggested on Wednesday that he was open to offers for the former Newcastle man. “I don’t believe that at all”, the Frenchman said in response to a suggestion that Wilshere was doubtful for the Euro 2016 tournament in France.
