RELATED ARTICLES Arsene Wenger: Manchester United in running to sign Thomas Vermaelen Arsenal receive official £10 million bid from Barcelona for Thomas Vermaelen but Manchester United remain in hunt Alisher Usmanov says Arsenal are starting a new era where we win trophies There has been speculation that Arsenal were in the hunt for the World Cup winner as he only has a year left to run on his Real Madrid deal. But any talk the club are closing in on his signature is far from the truth, according to the Arsenal manager. I dont know who has put Khedira on the market - is it his agent or the press? Wenger said at his press conference this lunchtime ahead of Sundays Community Shield against Manchester City. We were never close to signing him. Jack Wilshere is back fit and in midfield we have offensive midfielders and quite a few box- to-box players. Wenger continued: We still have three and a half weeks before the transfer market closes. I am open to it (more transfers) but Joel Campbell has come back plus the addition of the four players we have already bought. We have not lost players until now so we have a big squad at the moment.
