Arsene Wenger: Limits to Arsenal’s cash reserves

Arsene Wenger has dismissed comments made by Philip Harris that Arsenal could buy virtually any player in the world.

Harris, a director at the club and founder of Carpetright, was quoted as saying the club are now in a financial position to buy all but six players and backed Wenger to break the Gunners’ transfer record, having brought in Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez in the past two years.

Wenger, who has so far moved to sign goalkeeper Petr Cech from Chelsea, insists Harris’ comments were over the top, though, and is pleased with the players currently at his disposal.
