The quotes from Wenger himself makes it official, so it is just news. If the publication was just referring to him saying this with no quotes, then it would be a rumor.
... and Wenger hasn't been that great with buying big-name players who performed well. Most Arsenal greats of the last 10-15 years were unknown players, talents, or bargains.
Why not pick up PSV's Labyad or AZ Alkmaar's Maher!? Both great talents, younger, and much cheaper.
Also, shouldn't Wilshere and Ramsey both be back and fit at the end of the season!?
I think there are wiser ways to spend 30 million pounds, instead of gambling it on 1 player.
@ZizouZidane10 That the point Chelsea only have Matta, Malouda is shit every Chelsea fans know it, you can't rely on one man to create chances on one side of the Wing, that the reason they are linking with Willian from Shakstar

No one needs him other than Chelsea. I don't understand all this buying a player for the sake of buying a player.
Can't see him going to Arsenal, they wouldn't stump up the money
