Arsene Wenger has admitted Arsenal will not be buying any of the most expensive players in the world this summer as he looks for value for the club's money.

Arsenal has never been linked for the likes of Paul Pogba and Gareth Bale.

In the past two summers, Wenger has been able to purchase high-priced talents like Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.

"We have not spent that kind of money," Wenger said. "People forget that for years we had to sell our best players and that was a very difficult period. That is the reality.

"Since we buy again, we slowly come back to a more competitive level. You speak maybe about stratospheric numbers where we will not be involved."
