Wenger eyes new blood

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has spoken of his confidence about strengthening his squad this summer after agreeing a new three-year deal with the club.

The Gunners confirmed yesterday that the Frenchman had signed a contract extension to May 2017.

Arsenal’s transfer market activity — or perceived lack of it — has been a source of considerable frustration for some of their supporters in the last few years of Wenger’s reign, which began in 1996 and saw its first trophy since 2005 when the north London outfit won the FA Cup earlier this month.
