FFP stance will not affect Arsenal says Wenger

Arsene Wenger insists that UEFA's expected easing of Financial Fair Play rules will not negatively affect Arsenal.

Michel Platini and European football's governing body are set to strip back the FFP restrictions this summer but Wenger says it will not worry the Gunners who have always worked within the guidelines.

"It will not affect us at all. We always spend money we have. It will affect clubs who never respected FFP," said the Frenchman.

"There is international pressure to make the rules more flexible because of potential investors in other countries. And the TV contract in England has pushed other clubs in Europe to make it better for them to compete at the top level."
