Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists that he will enter the transfer market for "exceptional" players but says that he will not be forced into spending.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that he will not buy new players in next month's transfer window for the sake of it.

The Gunners boss has claimed that he will enter the market for "exceptional" talent but admits that he is more concerned with developing the players that he already has.

"If we can add one or two exceptional players, we will do it," London24 quotes Wenger as saying. "What we do not want to do is add players just because people put us under pressure to buy players.

"That is where we have to be strong enough. If we find a player who will give us something special, we will do it but that in January will not be easy.

"We have money, and why should I not spend it if it is to find the right players? I believe as well the first and most important thing is to keep confidence in the players we have. If we are consistent, we can come back."

Meanwhile, the North London outfit discovered today that they will go up against Bayern Munich in the Champions League round of 16.
