Arsenal round up: We don't need Depay, and Walcott won't be going anywhere

Here is the latest Arsenal news, including Arsene Wenger’s defiant message surrounding the Manchester United bound Memphis Depay, and encouraging words regarding Theo Walcott’s future.

We do not need Memphis Depay

The Daily Mirror report that Arsene Wenger believes that Arsenal did not need to sign PSV Eindhoven youngster Memphis Depay – who now appears to be set for a move to Old Trafford.

“I like the player but that’s a position where we have plenty,” explained Wenger.

We already have a cluster of quality options in his position in the side, but only Alexis Sanchez is anywhere near as prolific as Depay, who has scored 21 goals in 28 games for PSV in the Eredivisie this season.
