Four things a player must have before I sign him – Wenger

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has revealed the four criteria a footballer must meet before he signs him.

The Frenchman is looking to bring in a new defender and a striker, before the summer transfer window closes on August 31.


Wenger insists that money is not the player, but finding the right player who has what he is looking for.

“The money is never a problem if you have to pay what is requested,” he said after watching his side hammer Viking 8-0 on Friday.

“The price of a player is down to four ingredients. One is the talent, two his age, three is how much you expect him to improve your team, and four his resale value. If he ticks all four boxes then the price is not that important. You have to find the player.”

Wenger however made it clear that he was ‘alert’ in the transfer market.


“We do not have to panic but we are on alert in the transfer market so that we can make the right move when the opportunity comes up,” he added.
