Arsene Wenger "not desperate" for new striker

Arsenal are "not desperate" for a new striker this summer, claims Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that he isn't desperate for a new striker this summer.

The Gunners have been linked with a move for Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, but Wenger claims that he is happy with his "well-balanced" squad after their 6-0 pre-season win over Lyon.

He told Sky Sports News: "We are open-minded but we are not desperate. Today we didn't have Welbeck or Sanchez, who are big players. Wilshere didn't play as well, so we will have a good squad when everyone is back. We are open-minded but many clubs are on the market with big, big money.

"At the moment our squad is well-balanced quality-wise and numbers-wise. When you win the FA Cup final scoring four goals and score six today, it shows scoring goals is not our problem."

Arsenal play West Ham United on the opening day of the season.
