RVP, Fabregas, Nasri, Sagna to name a few.
Arsenal repeatedly sold their best players under Arsene Wenger. The Frenchman has now revealed why.
Wenger told BeinSports Premier League coverage: “Sell a player I didn’t want to? Many times, but for financial reasons…
“Of course (Arsenal would have gone under without selling players). I did (deals) every year. We had to pay the stadium back at the time, we had to be in the top four. We needed to pay our mortgage back…
“It was a different period. We just listened to Jurgen Klopp in the shock of a defeat, but at the end of the day he has to make the maximum potential of his team until the end of the season.
“That’s what I did at the start of a season. I knew we did not have the potential anymore to win the championship, but we wanted to at least be on target to be in the top four…
“I accepted this challenge and I think it’s a period that I worked at the most efficient and best for the club. It is what you leave behind that is important.
“Today the stadium is paid off, Arsenal can invest money and hopefully win championships again.”
