Arsene Wenger says '95 per cent' of Arsenal players will remain at the club this summer

The Arsenal manager is widely expected to bolster his squad in effort to challenge for the Premier League title next season.

He has spent in excess of £130million on new signings over the past two seasons, while player sales have amounted to around £25m during that period.

But the boss insists “95 per cent” of the players currently at the club will remain for the new season, while he refused to comment on fresh recruits.

“Look we are not in a transfer period. We have to continue just to focus,” he said.

“Ninety-five per cent of the players will still be here next season.

“And what is important is the attitude of this 95 per cent of the players and how much we improve, how much we push on now until the end of the season.

“We are in the semi-final of the FA Cup, we are in a strong fight in the Premier League.”

Arsenal are expected to let midfielder Mikel Arteta leave when his contract expires at the end of the season, with David Moyes’ Real Sociedad reportedly interested in the Spaniard.
