WENGER REFUTES RUMOURS

Arsenal gaffer Arsene Wenger has rumours that he is planning to cash-in on Thomas Vermaelen and Polish number one Wojciech Szczesny.


Both players were linked with departures after they were dropped for the victory against Bayern Munich.

Wenger said: "Szczesny? I rate him highly and have a big respect for what he's done.

"And Vermaelen? He is a very important part of our squad. He has a fantastic attitude and motivation."
