'Griezmann available but Wenger won't sign him' - Arsenal boss questioned by Hartson

The former striker feels the Gunners need to be in the market for top talent and that the reluctance of their boss to spend big is holding them back

Arsene Wenger’s reluctance to spend big on the likes of Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has been questioned by ex-Arsenal striker John Hartson.

The Frenchman is renowned for keeping a close eye on the purse strings at the Emirates Stadium, with success sought through careful management and minor reinforcement rather than elaborate expenditure.

A number of Arsenal’s Premier League rivals are, however, prepared to splash the cash in pursuit of domestic dominance and continental adventures.
