Arsene Wenger met with the press on Tuesday ahead of Arsenal’s game in hand against Sunderland on Wednesday night.

As we get ever closer to the end of the season and the opening of the transfer window, we’re certainly starting to see an increase in the number of questions being asked by journalists regarding the manager’s transfer plans.

Despite asking him similar questions just a few days ago before the game against United, they thought they’d try their luck again and see if he’s changed his mind about waiting until the end of the season to get busy.

He hasn’t, but he did, at least, confirm that there will be some action this summer.

“At the moment we are not in a transfer mode,” the boss said. “We want to finish our season well. We have put massive effort in since the start of the season to come back into a potentially good position in the Premier League, and now we need to focus on finishing well. We have put so much effort in that it would be stupid not to finish the job well. The transfer period comes after the FA Cup final.

“I do not bid for anybody at the moment. In the summer we will bid for people. At the moment we are not in transfer mode at all.”

Asked about possibly bidding for Raheem Sterling, Wenger replied “You absolutely want me to say something that I don’t want to say. I don’t like to lie. If I say that I will and I don’t do it, then I have lied.”
