Arsene Wenger agonises over transfers

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger feels his toughest decisions over the summer will be which players to let go.

The Gunners are expected to strengthen in a bid to be genuine title contenders in 2015-16, having fallen short this term. Wenger knows there will have to be some movement out of the Emirates if he is to bring in the likes of reported targets Petr Cech, Morgan Schneiderlin and Marco Reus, with the 25-man squad limit and homegrown quota both to be adhered to. Players like Lukas Podolski, Yaya Sanogo and Joel Campbell are all set to return from loan spells, and Wenger has a balancing act to perform.

“The squad is the right number but the competition is right, not too big because too big kills competition, too short kills competition as well, so we have to find the right number that is a fair competition,” the Frenchman said.
