Wenger believes that Cesc Fabregas 'landed where he wanted to go' following
claims the midfielder did not want to return to Arsenal.
Fabregas left Barcelona to join Chelsea earlier this summer, but Arsenal had
an option to try to re-sign their former captain three years after he left
the Emirates Stadium.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has suggested that Fabregas was 'not open' to
rejoining Arsenal and that it was an 'easy job' to persuade the Spain
international to move to Stamford Bridge.
Wenger is aware of the comments, but the Arsenal manager would not be drawn
on whether Fabregas was opposed to returning to the club.
"I think people came out and said he wanted to go to Chelsea," said Wenger
after Saturday’s friendly win over Boreham Wood.
"I don't know who tells the truth here or not. He landed where he wanted to
go."
Wenger has been active in the transfer market this summer after adding
Alexis Sanchez and Mathieu Debuchy to his squad, and he has also been linked
with several midfielders.
He is planning further additions to his ranks, with a goalkeeper on the
agenda following Lukasz Fabianski’s move to Swansea City and the end of
Emiliano Viviano’s loan spell.
"I'm happy with the business I’ve done until now but it’s not over," said
Wenger.
"There is still a long way to go and I’ll bring in another goalkeeper for
sure."
