Jose Mourinho: 'Arsenal spending is surprising'

Jose Mourinho says that he is surprised by the amount that Arsenal have been spending in recent transfer windows.

Jose Mourinho has described Arsenal's recent transfer spending as 'surprising'.

The Gunners have spent £100m in transfer fees over the last 12 months, while Chelsea have spent £82m.

"If you add up the amounts the clubs have spent in the last three or four years I think maybe you will find a surprise," Mourinho told The Mirror.

"Get a calculator. That is one of the easiest things to do. It leaves no space for speculation. If you want to be honest, objective and pragmatic it is the easiest job for a manager or a journalist to do.

"They have bought a fantastic goalkeeper and that is a position which is very important in a team. If you put Ozil plus Sanchez, plus Chambers, plus Debuchy you will maybe find a surprise."

Arsenal recently signed Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech for a fee of £11m.
