Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal are still financially weaker than Manchester City but insists that his club have moved on from the days when their best players would depart for the Etihad Stadium.

Arsenal lost five players to Manchester City between 2009 and 2014, as Bacary Sagna, Kolo Toure, Gael Clichy, Samir Nasri and Emmanuel Adebayor all left the Emirates.

Wenger also sold Robin van Persie to Manchester United during a period in which Arsenal struggled to cope with the financial strength of their Premier League rivals.
