| Arsene Wenger isn't a Scrooge at Christmas, says Martin Keown |
Arsene Wenger is not a Christmas Scrooge, according to former Arsenal defender Martin Keown.
The Frenchman has a reputation for being a little tight when it comes to transfers, however Keown says it's not the case when Christmas comes around.
"Wenger can definitely be quite festive, he’s certainly not a scrooge, I think he saw Christmas as a chance to reward players on and off the pitch," he told the Daily Mail.
Arsenal's chances of signing Napoli winger Jorginho have been ended after he penned a new deal with the Serie A club.
“In June we had offers to leave, but (sporting director Cristiano) Giuntoli and (coach Maurizio) Sarri immediately put their trust in him," his agent Joao Santos said.
"Napoli for life? Napoli have a similar philosophy to Barcelona, buy players at around 21 and improve them so you can reap the rewards five years down the line."
The Gunners are set to move for Porto’s defensive midfielder Danilo Pereira, according to reports.
Portuguese newspaper O Jogo claim Arsene Wenger wants to sign the 24-year-old to help ease his injury woes as Arsenal push for the Premier League title.
Danilo only joined Porto in the summer from Maritimo but has shone in Portugal so far this season, and has a release clause of £29million.
