"We have wave after wave of generation of young players. We work with them and when they have come in, they show top quality" - Arsene Wenger

And Wenger, who is believed to have £70 million in his transfer kitty, says he has faith in the squad he is developing.

The Frenchman said: "We have wave after wave of generation of young players. We work with them and when they have come in, they show top quality.

"We have a small group of good quality, and very young. For me, all of them can play on a regular basis in the first-team... I feel I have strength in depth."
