Arsenal boss Wenger planning for big spending summer

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he plans to spend heavily this summer.

Wenger penned a new three-year deal yesterday and will be handed a £100million transfer fund this summer.

"We know we have to have a successful June and July, that's where you strengthen the team," said the Gunners boss.

"It's very important that we are good now in the next two months until the end of August, that we can give to the team some more quality and go into next season with the belief we got from [the FA Cup] win.

"Should the fans expect a big summer? Yes, they should expect that.

"What I can promise is that we work very hard in a market that is very, very congested with many people who have a lot of money.

"But we have a big advantage, players want to join us and if we find the right quality I'm sure we can strengthen the team."
