Arsenal boss Wenger: There's no real transfer market now

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is delighted with their summer market work.

Despite the fact Arsenal may have been priced out of potential moves, the Gunners boss is happy with the transfers the club has got over the line.

"I am very pleased with our market because we bought good players who can integrate with our style of play," Wenger told 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."
