Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has suggested their business in the transfer window is now complete, after saying he is “very pleased” with the purchases made.
Wenger broke the club’s record transfer fee by landing £52million forward Alexandre Lacazette from Ligue 1 giants, Lyon this summer.
The Gunners also brought in Bosnian left-back Sead Kolasinac on a free tag, in a transfer window in which Premier League clubs parted with more than £1billion.
Speaking about the incredibly inflated market, Wenger claimed signing players has become “very difficult” for clubs in the top flight.
“I am very pleased with our market because we bought good players who can integrate with our style of play,” Wenger told Swedish broadcaster, Viasat.
“That’s what we want. On the other hand, it is very difficult. Today, the prices are out of proportion. The transfer market has become very demanding today.
“There is no transfer market anymore because the price depends only on the identity of the buyer and when you are English, you have straight away 50 per cent [extra] on the price of a player and that makes it difficult to act,” he added.
