<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 26-year-old joined the ranks at St Mary's during the January window, costing the Saints just £4million from QPR.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And Wenger admits he was shocked to see the striker leave the Championship outfit for such a small fee.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Austin, who scored 18 goals in his debut Premier League campaign last year, scored on his Southampton debut in the 1-0 win over Manchester United.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking about the deal, Wenger said: “Yes. I was surprised how cheap he was. I was surprised that he was on the market and not many teams came in for him.</div>

“He is available for selection, I haven’t decided yet,” Wenger said. “I have to see how everyone has recovered. Apparently we have no injuries from the Liverpool game, so he is a possibility to be in the squad for Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He’s a defensive midfielder who can contribute in an area where we are short. He is also a promising player who has already adapted to Europe, he is not straight from Egypt to England - he has played three years in Switzerland.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I expect him to develop into a very strong player because he has both sides of the game, he can defend and he can attack and that’s the way we want to play in midfield.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Where will his ultimate strength be? I need to know more about him with daily contact to see how well he can win the ball in the Premier League. That will be decisive to transform him into a more defensive or much more of a box-to-box player.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wenger hinted that it may mark the end of his January business as prefers to wait for his injured players to return to fill the gaps in the squad.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Ideally, personally I would prefer to have the players back from injuries, like Danny Welbeck for example, who has been out since April last year,” Wenger </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He’s now two or three weeks away and I’m confident that I won’t find a better player than Welbeck on the market today. If you give me the choice, I would prefer to have all my injured players back and go in to the end of the season with everybody available.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first of his players who could be back from injury is Alexis Sanchez – out since November but in contention for a place on Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Our intention is to use Sanchez as another weapon,” he said. “At the moment we are at the beginning of January, we are in a strong position in the league and we have qualified in the Champions League. We are still in the FA Cup so overall we are still in a position where we can make our season a fantastic season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The fact that we have players coming back from injuries will help, yes.”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Costa Rica international wanted to leave at the end of last season after making just four substitute appearances in the Premier League before joining Villarreal on loan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Wenger had no desire to let Campbell leave as he knew the 23-year-old had the right attitude to make it at the Emirates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Campbell, who had three spells out on loan before he made his Arsenal debut, has already made six league starts this season, scoring twice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I flat-out refused to let him go because I saw something in him that gives you belief, because of his attitude," Wenger said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"You want to be surprised by the quality of your players and where he surprises you is in the intensity of his teamwork."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wenger was convinced Campbell deserved more playing time after his impressive performance in the 3-0 Champions League win over Olympiakos last month.</div>

<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Arsene%20Wenger" rel="tag" target="_blank">Arsene Wenger</a> is reportedly still keen on the midfielder, who plans on staying at Lyon for another season as he continues his rehabilitation from a long-term knee injury.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Calum%20Chambers" target="_blank">The Arsenal youngster</a>, who moved to the Emirates from Southampton in 2014, has struggled for game time this season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He joined the same summer as Mathieu Debuchy and came in to <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Arsenal" target="_blank">the team</a> when the France defender was injured.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Hector Bellerin's progress through from the youth side has seen Chambers left on the sidelines.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chambers has had to fill-in in central defence with injuries to Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But he struggled against Liverpool when up against Christian Benteke and came off the bench when Gabriel was sent off in the Chelsea defeat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
