Wenger in the market for quality

Arsene Wenger is prepared to gamble on the right player this summer when he targets quality over quantity to strengthen Arsenal’s squad.

Wenger yesterday denied that Germany striker Lukas Podolski is close to joining the Gunners in an £11million deal having undergone a medical.

But the Arsenal boss admitted he is ready to scour the transfer market in his quest for high-quality additions to the squad.
