Arsene Wenger: 'Arsenal willing to spend big to land star player'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is open to splashing the cash in his pursuit to bolster the club's title-winning ambitions.

Arsene Wenger has insisted that Arsenal remain "very active" in the transfer window and could be tempted to make another big-money signing before it closes.

The Gunners have so far added just one senior player to their ranks - Switzerland international Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach for around £30m.

Wenger has been left frustrated in his attempts to land a new striker, though, with Jamie Vardy opting to remain at Leicester City and Juventus closing in on another of their rumoured targets in Gonzalo Higuain.

However, Arsenal could be boosted by the addition of more players before the summer is out, and Wenger is quick to point out that no other English club has yet to spend bigger than his side on an individual player during the off-season.

"We are very active and if we find the right candidates, we will spend the big money," Sky Sports News quotes him as saying. "We have already spent big and, until now, nobody has made a bigger transfer than we have in the country.

"Even if [Paul] Pogba might fly from Italy to England, I don't know, but overall we have made a big investment already and we are active. I believe we are active, very are active every day, and it's not over.

"Today we are in July and the transfer market finishes on August 31. A lot happens many times in the last week so it's a long time to go but we are active, we are working."

Arda Turan, Alexandre Lacazette, Riyad Mahrez and Matthias Ginter have all been strongly linked with moves to the Emirates Stadium in recent weeks.
