Arsene Wenger will need to be prepared to spend big if he wants to secure his top targets this summer, according to ex-Arsenal man Perry Groves. The Gunners boss is still to do any business in this transfer window but he is hopeful of securing deals for Alexis Sanchez and Mathieu Debuchy when the World Cup is over.
Out-of-favour Barca man Bojan is also set to make the move to the Emirates according to recent reports. But Groves has warned that the Frenchman may need to become more flexible with regards to his transfer policy. He told TalkSport:
“Arsenal need to change their transfer policy slightly. Currently, Wenger has a figure that he thinks a player is worth and refuses to go above that. Sometimes though, you have to. If you have to spend £3-4m more than you thought, but the player is that important to the team, then you have to spend it.
“Arsenal at the moment are a very cash rich club, sometimes they have to spend a little bit more than what Wenger thinks the player is worth.”
