Arsenal unconcerned if FIFA want to see club's treatment of youngsters

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has invited FIFA to come and inspect the conditions under which young player's are trained and educated at the Emirates. The Frenchman is confident there is no finer place for a young player to learn his trade in England than with the Gunners.

"FIFA can come here and immediately I open the door for inspection to show them what we do and how we treat the boys," he told the club's official website.

"That's not the case everywhere. There are some places in Brazil where the boys do not have the same conditions or treatment we have here. It is less well medically, psychologically and footballistically [sic]. Here, if we have any little problem, you [the media] are here to punish us.

"What I mean is you cannot escape. If you don't treat the boys well you would know about it."
