Wenger to resist any wage-cut moves

ARSENE WENGER insisted that Arsenal would not indulge in the same wage-cutting moves as Manchester United as the club attempt to resolve the futures of four first-team players.

Wenger revealed that Sol Campbell would accept an overall pay reduction from next season as he is no longer entitled to the huge signing-on fees due in the wake of his free Bosman move from Spurs.

However, Campbell will continue to be one of the Premiership’s highest earners, with Arsenal trying to ensure the 30-year-old’s signature on a new deal by offering him at least another three years.
