Arsenal have had two bids for Suarez
rejected during the current transfer window
and, speaking after his side won 3-0 at
Fenerbahce in the first leg of their
Champions League play-off, Wenger said
they would not be making another offer.
“(There is) absolutely no chance of that,”
Wenger said, in remarks widely reported in
the British media on Thursday.
A number of British media outlets, including
the BBC, claim that Arsenal have expressed
an interest in signing Real Madrid pair Karim
Benzema and Angel Di Maria.
The London club have also had a bid for
Newcastle United’s France international
midfielder Yohan Cabaye rejected.
Wenger would not be drawn on the identity
of his transfer targets, but he confirmed that
the club are working to bring in new
players.
“We tried to bring one in, but we are
working on that. You have to understand
there is still a long way to go,” he said.
“The transfer market starts for me now and
a lot of activity will happen between now
and September 2.
“From August 21 until September 2 you
have 12 days, so a lot will happen. It starts
now.”
