Podolski not done deal

Wenger insisted key details have to be ironed out, whilst adding that they won’t be particularly active in this summer’s transfer window.

“Nothing is done. It could happen soon, it could happen later, I don’t know,” said Wenger.

“Quantity wise we will not do a lot. Quality wise certainly and we will take a gamble if we find top quality,” he said. “The number of the squad is 25. We have many players out on loan and we have not had Jack Wilshere or Abou Diaby for the whole season.

“These players will be back and that means number and quality wise we are strong because we are now in the position we are in without these players.”
