Pogba proposal by Manchester United ‘complete madness’, says Arsenal’s Wenger

“I can not give you a yes or no because we do not publicise our transfer interest”.

“Leicester lost three games in the season, it is maybe not a glamorous name but it is not the name that wins you the Championship”.

The recently appointed club captain suffered a knee injury in the pre-season draw with Lens that required surgery, and Wenger confirmed he does not expected Mertesacker to return until 2017.

“I buy players that I feel can strengthen our team”.

Baggies manager Tony Pulis described Evans as his “best player by a country mile” earlier this year and the former Stoke City boss has spoken in recent weeks about his desire to add to a thinly assembled squad.

Rob Holding says it was a great experience to learn from the likes of Didier Drogba, Kaka and Andrea Pirlo as the defender made his Arsenal debut in Thursday’s 2-1 victory over MLS All-Stars.

Arsenal have been linked with a number of players this summer and Wenger admitted the club were in the market for, among other things, a striker.

“We are still on the market at the front and the back”.

The best way to conclude transfers is not to talk about them, which is very hard in the press conference! Unfortunately we are not alone.

“And if you look at who is spending the most in Europe, they are not the teams that won the leagues”. We are on the market but I don’t want to talk specifically about any player because that makes it more hard for me – and it’s hard enough.

Somebody try telling that to this excitable Arsenal fan, who spotted Arsene Wenger riding his bike on Venice Beach and couldn’t resist giving him a less than subtle nudge about reported summer target Riyad Mahrez.
