Gazidis: Arsenal have ‘over-performed’ in transfer market

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis insists the club have “over-performed” in the transfer market compared to their Premier League rivals.

Gazidis, who was taking questions at Arsenal’s annual general meeting last night, also said no-one outside the club is aware of the demands made by players approaching the end of their contracts.

He said keeping Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil as their deals run down rather than selling them last summer also shows the club’s board are not simply seeking financial success.
