Arsenal boss Wenger in favour of financial controls

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger claims spending controls in the Premier League will show the best managed clubs. The 20 Premier League club chairmen were presented with a range of possible financial controls to limit spending at a meeting on Thursday and will consider all the options later this year.

Arsenal boss Wenger says measures such as UEFA's financial fair play rules - where clubs can only spend what they earn - should be introduced.

Wenger, speaking at a coaches' forum at UEFA's headquarters in Switzerland, said: "You should just get the resources you generate, that will determine the real size of the club.

"I personally am a long-time defender of financial fair play because I believe in the strength of purely football."
