During the last match led by London's team "Arsenal" this weekend, Arsene Wenger warned his competitors from North London that stadium construction could force them to abandon big plans.
"Tottenham" is playing this season at "Wembley" stadium, while their former stronghold "White Hart Lane" is currently under construction. "Spurs" have planned to complete the construction work by next season, after which the stadium will have 62,000 seats.
A. Wenger knows what it means for a club to build a new stadium - he oversaw the construction of the "Emirates" stadium for the "Gunners" and remembered that the team had to save money.
"The current economic situation has changed significantly," said A. Wenger. - The costs of stadium construction have doubled.
"Transfer fees have also tripled or quadrupled. When we were building the stadium, spending 10 million pounds on a player was a huge amount.
"I don't know how much a player like Kane would cost today - 100 million? They may face problems and may be forced to sell players. Maybe even to the "Arsenal" club!" - Wenger concluded the conversation with a smile on his face.
