Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal will remain very active during the summer transfer window and has vowed to spend big if it means securing a top target.

The Frenchman has been criticised over recent years for not using the transfer market to the club’s advantage, having only signed Petr Cech last summer.

However, the Gunners have already added three new faces since the conclusion of last term with Granit Xhaka, Takuma Asano and Rob Holding all arriving at the Emirates.

Arsenal, who are priced at 7.00 to win the Premier League, have splashed the cash already this summer and paid £30million to bring in Xhaka from Basel.

Wenger is keen to build on last season’s second-place finish and insists he will go back into the market if they can find the right candidates to improve the squad.

“We are very active and if we find the right candidates, we will spend the big money,” Wenger said.

“We have already spent big and, until now, nobody has made a bigger transfer than we have in the country.

“Even if Pogba might fly from Italy to England, I don’t know, but overall we have made a big investment already and we are active.

“I believe we are active, very are active every day, and it’s not over. Today we are in July and the transfer market finishes on August 31.

“A lot happens many times in the last week so it’s a long time to go but we are active, we are working.”
