Arsenal boss Wenger defends busy transfer deadline day

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has defended his deadline day deals.

Wenger was criticised for not acting sooner during the transfer window but insists the deals he wanted to complete could not have been achieved any sooner.

"We did what I believe is the right thing," he said. "Unfortunately the transfer deadline makes it possible - people before that wait for a long time and you can do things in the last 48 hours that you cannot do before.

"I am happy that we added two quality players at the back and we added height, experience and quality."
