Arsenal's Arsene Wenger "confident" of signing new players before deadline

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says that "some funds are available" for new signings before the close of the transfer window in 10 days' time.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reiterated that he expects the club to complete a number of new signings before the transfer window closes in 10 days' time.

The Frenchman has come under criticism for failing to land a number of high-profile targets, despite having a reported £70m budget in the kitty.

"Every player's first question is 'do you play in the Champions League or not?' That is the first requirement," Wenger said in a press conference. "I'm confident [we'll sign players]. We have some funds available."

Despite reports linking the North London outfit with moves for Real Madrid duo Karim Benzema and Angel di Maria, Wenger refused to comment on the speculation.
