“I’m Tired of Selling My Biggest Players” – Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger has admitted that he is tired of losing his big stars every summer, but has insisted that if Theo Walcott is sold, he will get a replacement for the England international. The forward has failed to agree a new deal and might be sold in the January window, if he does not agree fresh terms with the club.

Wenger has seen names like Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, Alex Song and Samir Nasri leave in the past two years already, and says those departures have left him frustated.

“You think I’m not fed up? I want them to stay,” he said. “He [Walcott] was fantastic last year in this game. He will certainly be again.

“Its always important to keep your best players. If that should happen we’ll replace him with someone – another big name. Or make another big name.

“I have discussions every day with Theo Walcott, but not every day about his contract – his agents do that.

“We are trying to get further but, at the moment, nothing else has happened.”

Reports say Arsenal are already targeting Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha and Adrian from Athletic Madrid, if the 23-year-old leaves.

Fiorentina Veteran Luca Toni Says Stevan Jovetic is not loved

Luca Toni thinks that the treatment of Stevan Jovetic by Fiorentina fans will see him leave this summer. The Montenegrin front-man is wanted by Arsenal, Manchester City and Juventus - but he has insisted he is looking at finishing the season with Fiorentina before deciding his future. But Jovetic has struggled for form in recent weeks and has not scored since the end of March - which has led to some criticism on the terraces. And Toni feels this will have an adverse effect on Jovetic. "Stevan feels the Fiorentina fans treat him without love," Toni told a press conference. "Everybody says that the player's struggles will end when he starts scoring again. "The way I see it in this difficult period is that Jovetic is only supported when he is making a difference on the field. At the moment, there is no enthusiasm towards him - he does not feel loved."
