Arsene Wenger is still hoping to
complete a deal for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez and is confident there will be
some transfer activity before the window closes at the end of this
month.
Arsenal have had two bids for the Uruguayan striker rejected by Liverpool as
Wenger continues to try and strengthen his squad before the start of the new
season in just over two weeks time.
Having missed out on Gonzalo Higuain, who decided to join Napoli earlier this
summer, Wenger has been determined to complete a deal for Suarez and admits that
talks are continuing.
"I don't want t speak about Suarez as that is between Liverpool and Arsenal.
We want to respect what Liverpool want to do. If it is feasible we want to do it
(sign the player) in an amicable way," Wenger confirmed at a press conference
ahead of the Emirates Cup.
"I am a great believer in keeping confidentiality which is difficult in the
modern world. We work very hard, not only on this case, but on many other
different cases."
When further quizzed on whether there would be new arrivals before the end of
the transfer window, Wenger explained: "I am confident, but you look at many
teams around us and nothing has happened until now.
"For me, I'm in a new situation because at least I haven't lost players. In
recent seasons I have always faced the fact that we have lost very important
players. At least we have some stability. We do want to bring something more,
but it hasn't worked as quickly as I wished."
The Gunners have witnessed north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur twice break
their transfer record to secure the signatures of striker Roberto Soldado and
Brazilian midfielder Pualinho, while winger Nacer Chadli has also arrived at
White Hart Lane.
Arsenal have so far only completed a deal for 20 year old striker Yaya Sanogo
but Wenger believes it is difficult to identify players who are better than his
current crop.
"If you can give me names of players who are better than we have then I will
talk about it," added Wenger.
All I have to say you Arsene ,Suarez is still lfc's ,and dont get your hopes up of signing him.
