Premier League: Arsenal still looking for new signings
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he will continue to pursue new players until transfer deadline day, which is September 2nd. However, Wenger admitted he doesn't know how many players he would be able to bring at the Emirates Stadium before the transfer window slams shut. So far Arsenal have made just one signing this summer, Auxerre 20-year-old forward Yaya Sanogo, who joined on a free transfer. Arsenal had a bid of over £40m for Luis Suarez rejected by Liverpool. "I cannot certify what the number of players coming in will, but we will be active until the end, that is for sure," Wenger said. Arsenal have been quite active in the departures sector this summer as Marouane Chamakh, Gervinho, Andrey Arshavin, Denilson and Andre Santos all left the club. Supporters have expressed their concern at the lack of big-money signings ahead of their Premier League opener against Aston Villa on Saturday despite chief executive Ivan Gazidis assuring the fans there was plenty of money available for transfers. Wenger was unable to sign Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain, aged 25, as the player chose to join Italian club Napoli. "We are in a situation like Manchester United, like Chelsea, where everybody expects signings and at the moment not a lot has happened," Wenger added. "There are 18 days to go, so that is a long time in the transfer market and we will be active."
