Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger quotes that The Gunners won't be spending “stratospheric” money this summer as they look to strengthen the present squad to build up Premier league next season.
The Emirates side laid their hands on FA Cup with a thumping 4-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday, but are expected to be active in the transfer window.
According to the reports, Wenger has a Goalkeeper and a defensive midfielder as target this summer but Wenger admits that Arsenal won't be spending high amd bidding upon big players like Pogba or Bale.
“We have not spent that kind of money,” he said. “People forget that for years we had to sell our best players and that was a very difficult period. That is the reality.
“Since we started to buy again, we have slowly come back to a more competitive level. But you speak maybe about stratospheric numbers where we will not be involved.
“Not at that level. It’s simple. I do not want to tell you how much money we have. But I have not made a clear decision yet for what I will do.
“Don’t rule anything out and I will not tell you as well how much money we will spend. But I’m always more focused on quality.”
Wenger acknowledges that the years of financial prudence that once typified the Gunners are behind them, though he remains keen to drive a hard bargain.
“I want a good rapport between price and quality,” he added. “Santi Cazorla was voted man of the match in the FA Cup final. I don’t think he cost £150m. Francis Coquelin was one of the best players on the pitch.
“I am not against spending money. I have shown that recently.”
