Arsene Wenger says he is in no rush to sign new players, claiming Arsenal can win the Premier League title with or without new signings. The Gunners have already submitted a £40,000,001 bid for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez and the offer was rejected. Wenger says he is not expecting transfer activity ahead of the Emirates Cup next weekend.
"We are ready to do quick deals but all the transfers do not depend only on us," said Wenge. "But we are prepared to wait. It looks unlikely before the Emirates Cup. We still have a strong squad but we are there on the market to try to strengthen our team. With or without additions we can be title challengers next season."
"What we want is not a name but a good player", Wenger added. "The name is less important. What is more important is the quality of the player. At the moment I must tell you we are not close to signing anybody. We try to do the job and we will try to do it well. But that is in front of us. We have worked a lot but nothing has been concluded with anybody. Of course we want to do as many top players as we can. But we also have to focus on the players we have and develop them."
The bookmakers don't seem to agree with Arsene Wenger, here are the outright odds for the Premier League season at Sky Bet:
Chelsea - 9/4
Manchester City - 23/10
Manchester Utd - 13/5
Arsenal - 10/1
Liverpool - 28/1
Tottenham - 33/1
