Wenger happy with Gunners' owners

Arsene Wenger would rather have English owners at Arsenal than be backed by the millions of a foreign investor.

The parent company of the Barclays Premiership club today issued a statement denying there had been any approach from parties interested in buying a majority stake. Wenger insists he is more than happy with the "status quo" at Arsenal, the north-London club’s largest shareholders being Danny Fiszman, David Dein and the Bracewell-Smith family - all passionate, life-long Gunners supporters.

Wenger declared: "I am happy with owners I have and I do not see the need for a change because we are stable financially If we were bankrupt maybe, but they have made a miracle by building a new stadium without being bankrupt."

He added: "The club is doing very well and we have a very promising team, having just come out of the Champions League final.

"We have a team which is getting better and better.

"We had a stuttering start a bit [in the Premiership], but when you look overall at what we have done financially and in a sports way, I do not feel there is a need there for a change.

"The future of the club looks very good."
