LONDON.- Arsene Wenger has admitted he ‘loves a bargain’ ahead of Black Friday and says Arsenal will spend money in January if they find the right players.
The Gunners boss is well known for being frugal, but he admits he is in the market for players in the next transfer window.
“We are in a position where we want to do something,” he said. “If I find the right quality, I will do something.”
Much has been spoken about Black Friday, an event at the end of this week which sees prices slashed for one day only, and typically signifies the start of the Christmas shopping season.
Although Wenger admitted to never having heard of the day, he did live up to his reputation in revealing he enjoys saving money.
“I love a bargain,” he told reporters. “Who does not love a bargain? I don’t know many people that don’t like a bargain.
“What is for us a bargain is to buy players of top quality, because only top quality strengthens our squad. I can tell you I bought Patrick Vieira for £2,5 million and it was a top bargain because he was a top quality player.
“We spent nearly £40 million on Ozil, but I still consider it a bargain because the player is top quality and the priority has to be the quality of the player.”
Wenger will be hoping for another steal this weekend as Arsenal travel to Carrow Road to face struggling Norwich in the Premier League.
Alexis Sanchez is an injury doubt for the match, but Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are both fighting fit and are expected to play a part.- Mailonline.
