Hill-Wood counting on his chips

Arsenal’s transfer kitty is in safe hands with new chairman Sir Chips Keswick, according to former custodian Peter Hill-Wood – but whether manager Arsene Wenger spends any of that on Luis Suarez before the transfer window slams shut remains to be seen.

The Gunners, who failed to win a match as they hosted the Emirates Cup last weekend, maintain there is plenty of hard work going on behind the scenes to strengthen the squad, albeit perhaps not in time to help with the Champions League play-off in a couple of weeks time.
