Wenger will gamble on right player

Arsene Wenger is prepared to gamble on the right player this summer when he targets quality over quantity to strengthen Arsenal's squad.

Wenger has denied that Germany striker Lukas Podolski is close to joining the Gunners in an £11million deal having undergone a medical. But the Arsenal boss admitted he is ready to scour the transfer market in his quest for high-quality additions to the squad.

"Quantity-wise we will not do a lot. Quality-wise certainly, and we will take a gamble if we find top, top quality of course," he said.
