Selling strikers could be a mistake – Klopp

But if they all have only one aim then there can be only one who is really lucky.

However, he said that it’s “not about the names” and instead it’s “all about the performance on the pitch”, adding: “So we all have a very good chance to do our best”.

Arsenal open the season at home to Liverpool on Monday (AEST) and Wilshere is relishing the prospect.

The 25-year-old was the star of Euro 2016 and we all saw how well he linked up with Olivier Giroud for France, so it would be awesome to see them playing together at the Emirates this coming season.

And this summer looks set to be another disappointment.

However, again it’s hard to see a deal being done for Griezmann as Atletico have no reason to sell for anything less than his buyout fee and there’s no way Wenger will pay £85.5m for one player.

‘I will say Manchester United for the title with Arsenal in second, Manchester City in third and Liverpool fourth.

Well, the French boss blames his lack of activity on no top players being available. “For me anyway, over the last few seasons he has been like a captain”, Wilshere told the Arsenal website.

“So, the managers are there, the money is there but the players are not there”.

“It’s England, managers obviously have a more, in public, special role than maybe in other countries”.

Arsenal have named Per Mertesacker as the club’s new captain ahead of the 2016-17 season, following the departure of Mikel Arteta to Manchester City.

With Per Mertesacker ruled out until the new year and Gabriel sidelined for six to eight weeks, Wenger surely needs to sign a defender in the coming days or weeks.

The network has also unveiled two brand new Saturday football shows that will sandwich its exclusive live Premier League action as part of an exciting new TV and live streaming schedule for this season.

The Gunners were linked with Leicester talisman Jamie Vardy this summer but the former non-league player elected to stay with the Premier League champions.

One thing is for sure, Arsenal fans won’t enjoy hearing Wenger’s comments.
