Even though the board have told him £69million is available, Wenger has no plans to spend much of it this summer.

Wenger said: "You look at the amount of money we have spent in recent years and we have not done bad.

"The real target of a manager is to respect the balance of what comes in and what goes out, do well with the funds available.

"We have money available because we have made the right decisions.

"I believe a football team is not about buying and selling. I believe it is more about building and working together and going through a growing process. It is enjoyable now to see the team going slowly up and seeing what they can do.

"I believed in this team and winning [the title] would prove me right. I am confident I will be proven right."
