But Wenger tried to downplay such talk and continued to insist maintaining the good feeling within his current squad is his priority.
He said: "He has gone a bit overboard because that is not true.
"We are in a situation where we are working hard where if an opportunity comes up we can do something but we are not in the need. We are in a strong position with a strong squad I am happy with.
"We have built up something special last season, that is a good team dynamic and confidence level.
"We want to work on that and not expect too much from outside now. It is inside our squad that our performance has to be sufficient."
