Arsène Wenger has pledged that Arsenal will be "very active" in the transfer market this summer, after a season that ended in disappointment, a fourth-place finish and a sixth anniversary of their last success in a major trophy.

Wenger has been heavily criticised for his failure to spend more of Arsenal's profits on his team, preferring to bring players through the club's youth scheme or to spend relatively little on obscure foreign recruits. But the Frenchman says his policy is about to change.
