Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has sent out a message to fans saying that they should not expect immediate signings as we enter into the summer window.

The Gunners wrapped up the signing of German legend Lukas Podolski recently, and that gave hopes to the fans that Wenger will finally be allowed to spend on big money signings. However, the manager has played down suggestions that the club are in any sort of hurry to sign players, and said that each signing will be based on a research and on the basis of how the player fits into the currently present squad.

Wenger said, “We wanted to get at least one of our transfer targets sorted out early and we are pleased to have achieved it [with Podolksi].

“The next phase of our ‘signings’ will be to take care of our injured players and make sure they are back for the start of next season.

“I am thinking of players like Jack Wilshere, Abou Diaby and Per Mertesacker – when these guys are fit we have quite a big squad and before we can buy again we have to assess how many players we have.”
