Arsenal boss Wenger: Premiership even more open this term
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes there are more teams capable of winning the title this season.
The influx of cash provided to Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini by owner Sheikh Mansour has, according to Wenger, distorted the overall market.
"I don't think Man City reflects in general the financial state of international football," said the Arsenal manager.
"The transfer market overall is very quiet - clubs are very tight with money."
Wenger, though, feels the forthcoming campaign is set to be an "open" contest.
"I feel there will be more teams fighting for the title," he said.
"It makes it more interesting and open as well - we have seen the start of that last season as well, all of the top teams lost points against the second part of the Premier League.
"That trend could even become stronger this year.
"There are the three who dominated last year, then you have Spurs, Liverpool, Manchester City, Aston Villa - and you also have one team who is a surprise at the start of the season."
