The Gunners boss started with France defender Laurent Koscielny and summer signing Rob Holding at centre-half for Saturday evening’s goalless draw with Premier League champions Leicester City. But the other side is that the team is not as good as it used to be. In this last five or six years, Arsenal went more with this type of mobile, technical players.

Fresh reports suggest Arsenal have made a surprise enquiry for Monaco defender Marcel Tisserand, with the valuations on players in the current transfer climate meaning Wenger will be forced to pay over the odds to make a signing before the August 31st transfer deadline. “They’ve been disappointing, losing games they should have won”. The midfielder himself is the coach of the Major League Soccer side New York City FC.

“Bergkamp, who had the flair; Thierry Henry who could finish and had so much power; athletic players with the physical aspect like Sol Campbell; and some really strong personalities with [Jens] Lehmann or the back four”, he told.

Arsene Wenger has previously said he is confident a deal will happen, but Spanish football expert Guillem Balague begs to differ and believes the player is going nowhere. I think they can do it a bit more.

Arsenal have been working hard trying to thrash out a deal for the German global in recent weeks and Wenger confirmed to Sky Sports after the 0-0 draw at Leicester that negotiations were continuing as we approach the final week of the window.

So we want to keep our philosophy and play football’. Why do you say I’m reluctant, I don’t understand that?
