Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger Interested In Signing ‘Special’ Player

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has ruled out another bid for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, but will strengthen his squad if a ‘special’ player becomes available.

The Gunners head into the New Year as leaders of the Premier League, with some of their title rivals tipped to spend heavily as they enter the second half of a fiercely contested title race.

Arsenal have stayed in the hunt, despite limited attacking options which have forced Olivier Giroud to shoulder much of the workload as a sole striker.

Wenger tried to add more firepower in the summer, but failed to lure Suarez from Liverpool and will not make another attempt to prise away the Uruguay international, who signed a new deal at Anfield this month.

“We are as many clubs, certainly on alert,” said the Frenchman. “If something special turns up, we will not turn it down.

“But we are not as well desperate because we have a big depth in our squad. We have shown that because our midfield for example at West Ham and at Newcastle was completely different. We changed three players and we still managed to have a very strong team.”
