Wenger rules out Kompany move

Arsene Wenger has ruled out a move for Belgium international defender Vincent Kompany. Arsenal's boss Wenger has indicated that he thinks Kompany is a good player, but will not be signing him.

"I have known Kompany for a long time, since he was 16," explained the Gunners boss to Setanta Sports.

"I keep following him but the story that we want him for next season is wrong.

"I know him to be very, very good but I have decided that defenders are no longer necessarily needed for next season.

"Therefore, he will not come."
