Wenger’s ‘special’ search

Arsene Wenger will recruit only “special” players for Arsenal before the transfer window closes.

Arsenal will play Fenerbahce tonight, bidding to complete qualification for the group stages of the Champions League for a 16th successive year against a side they beat 3-0 in Istanbul last week.

It will be the Gunners’ first return to the Emirates Stadium since a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa on the opening day of the Premier League season which provoked the fans’ ire.
