Wenger to buy ‘exceptional player’ in January

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted he will only spend in the January transfer window for an “exceptional player” to boost his squad.

But if we find an exceptional player then we will take him,” Wenger told the Daily Mirror.“We lacked fluidity in our attacks against Wigan and continuity in our attacking play but we won because of our will to win. And, with the way things are now, I won’t turn my nose up at that.”

We won trophies with players who were less focused than this team.
