Despite reports earlier in the week that Arsenal were in the race to sign Barcelona striker David Villa on loan; Arsene Wenger has told reporters at a press conference that there is no chance of signing the 31-year-old striker.
Villa has been on Arsenal's radar for over six months, as the Gunners' manager Wenger looked for further options to reinforce his attack. However, today the Frenchman suggested that there is no chance the player will be moving to London.
Wenger quipped: "Barcelona do not want to sell David Villa. They've made that very clear."
He also insists that he has enough strength in depth up front and no forwards will be brought in this month: "What's important is to buy players who can strengthen the squad. Otherwise, you do nothing. We have enough quality strikers."
