Boss – Why early signings are an advantage

The speed with which we have moved in the transfer market this summer has been well received by the Arsenal fans – and Arsene Wenger.

The manager is pleased with the additions of Sead Kolasinac and Alexandre Lacazette and believes getting them in early will have a positive impact this season.

“It is an advantage because you go into the new season and you have an idea of what the players are about, with whom they can integrate the team and do well - overall I think it is a huge advantage,” Wenger told Arsenal Player.

“Unfortunately we are not the only ones to decide the pace of the transfer market.

“If you look around, not a lot has happened since the start of the opening of the transfers but certainly a lot will happen inn the final part, especially in the last two weeks and even more in the last week.”
