Wenger in talks with targets

(GSM) – Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed he has been talking to a few of his transfer targets for this summer.

The French tactician is determined to do his business before the World Cup kicks off. The Gunners have been linked with several players in recent weeks and Wenger admits plans are well underway about bringing new faces to the Emirates Stadium.

“I have definite transfer targets and I have been talking to people but I will not tell you to who,” Wenger told the Arsenal Matchday Programme.

Wenger wants to do his business early and he is wary of buying players after the World Cup because their price tag can inflate.

“I believe the earlier you settle your team the better it is and the less anxiety you have,” he added.

“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.”
