[b]Arsene Wenger has warned
Arsenal fans not to expect any high-profile arrivals in the
summer.
Even a poor run of form in the league - with three defeats in the
last four games putting fourth place at risk - has not convinced
the Frenchman to waver from his focus on developing young
talents.
In recent weeks The Gunners have been linked with players such as
Marseille's Franck Ribery and Sevilla's Daniel Alves, as well as
the obligatory string of young players across the continent.
Now Wenger has insisted he is not planning to break precedent and
bring any ready-made superstars to Emirates Stadium when the
transfer window opens.
"I'd be happy to go into next season with the same squad because we
are in a growing process," said Wenger in the newspaper.
"The temptation is always there to spend but I'm more concerned
with developing the young players.
"I don't think we need a big investment."
However, Arsenal will have to decide whether to sign Julio Baptista
on a permanent deal in the summer after the expiration of his loan
move from Real Madrid. [/b]
