this week, but neither David Villa nor David Beckham
will be joining Arsenal.
Beckham has asked to train at London Colney as he
continues to assess offers from clubs in Europe and
elsewhere, while Villa has been linked with Arsenal
since the transfer window opened.
But Barcelona have consistently said they will not sell
the striker this month and, according to Wenger, there
is no room for further negotiation.
He said: "Barcelona don't want to sell, they've made
that very clear."
As for Beckham, Wenger said: "He has asked to come
here and to work on his fitness. He has not done
anything for a long, long time.
"It's purely for fitness. There's no speculation about
signing or anything."
Asked what Arsenal are getting out of the
arrangement, he said: "Nothing. Questions in a press
conference!"
There have been no new arrivals at the Emirates this
month despite Arsenal's position outside the top four
and the departures of Marouane Chamakh and Johan
Djourou.
Wenger said: "We are still trying, but it's hard to sign
players in January who can improve you."
