Gervinho... finalised move to Arsenal on Monday

'We're not finished in transfer market yet'

By Richard Clarke
 
Ivan Gazidis says Arsenal have not yet finished their transfer activity this summer and have “substantial” funds to invest.
 
The Club’s Chief Executive Officer fully expects Arsène Wenger to add to the purchase of Carl Jenkinson and Gervinho. But, he commented, they would keep their targets under wraps.
 
"We still will be active in this window,” said Mr Gazidis. “We haven't finished our business at all. We're just not conducting it publicly; we're working hard privately.
 
“I'm was out in Asia because I could be with Arsène for an extended period of time and think very, very carefully about strategy and targets.
 
“We understand where the weaknesses have been. Financially we're in a strong position, we have resources to spend. We're certainly not sitting there saying ‘let's hold back on our resources’ for some reason, why would we?
 
“The resources are there. We've got a substantial amount of money that we can invest. The important thing for us, which can be frustrating, is not doing it only in response to a public clamour but in a way that can positively impact our performance next year. That's the focus now.”
