„Arsenal“ coach Arsene‘s Wenger claims that the last transfer window was difficult for top clubs because there were few players who could guarantee strengthening their teams.
The Frenchman also questioned „Manchester United“'s decision to acquire Anthony Martial. The 19-year-old striker had only played 52 „Ligue 1“ matches before arriving in Manchester, and the „Arsenal“ coach, whose only purchase this summer was Petr Cech, believes that „Manchester United“ was forced to dive headfirst into the transfer market.
„I heard that Martial scored 11 goals in the French league so far – that says it all“, Wenger told „beIN Sports“ television.
„This means that clubs currently lack not money or willingness to buy, but players who could really strengthen them.“
„Am I satisfied with my investments? Yes. I bought Sanchez, Ozil, Cech, Gabriel, or Debuchy – when you find players, then you invest money.“
„Martial is a great talent, he is 19 years old, the investment is also huge, which shows that there are not many players on the market who could strengthen teams like „Manchester United“.”
