Arsenal will be active in the transfer market, says Wenger

The Gunners have signed just one player so far,
but the Frenchman says the north London club
will be moving to buy players before deadline day
passes

Arsene Wenger has indicated Arsenal will be aiming to sign players before the end of the
transfer window.
The Gunners are yet to sign a marquee player,
despite pursuing Gonzalo Higuain, who left Real
Madrid for Napoli, and continuing to monitor the
situation of Liverpool forward Luis Suarez. Yaya Sanogo, who joined the club from Auxerre, is
Wenger's only summer signing thus far, but the
Frenchman is hopeful of making more additions
before the deadline passes.
"We are active," Wenger told the club's official
website. "We are in a situation like Manchester United, like Chelsea, where everybody expects
signings and at the moment not a lot has
happened.
"There are 18 days to go, so that is a long time in
the transfer market and we will be active.
"I cannot certify what the number [of new signings will be] but we will be active until the
end, that is for sure."
Arsenal kick off their Premier League campaign
with a clash with Aston Villa at the Emirates
Stadium on August 17.
