Arsene Wenger challenges players to show their worth

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger claims that his plans for the summer transfer window will depend on how well his team perform between now and the end of the season.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has claimed that his plans for the summer transfer window will depend on how well his team perform between now and the end of the season.

The Gunners, who will be without midfielder Abou Diaby for up to nine months because of a knee ligament injury, currently sit fifth in the Premier League table, four points behind local rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

"We have to analyse," said Wenger. "What will decide our attitude, my attitude, is how we do now until the end of the season.

"We have had some blips that were not expected, [losing in the cup competitions to] Blackburn and Bradford, but overall I must say the attitude of the team has been great and when everyone is here then we have a strong team.

"What is important is to analyse where we can improve at the end of the season."

Andrey Arshavin, Lukasz Fabianski and Sebastien Squillaci will all be out of contract in June.
