Arsene Wenger admitted it was frustrating to lose another big game following Arsenal's defeat at White Hart Lane but rejected suggestions that Tottenham Hotspur were now the top team in North London.
Wenger, meanwhile, claimed he had no knowledge of a potential takeover at Arsenal - but insisted that was a concern only for owner Stan Kroenke and whether he wants to sell up. Reports have emerged claiming a Middle East consortium are preparing a £1.5billion bid to buy out the Premier League club at around £20,000 a share. However, sources close to the Arsenal board maintain there has been no approach, informal or otherwise, to the American owner, who remains "in it for the long term". "I don't know anything about it, I heard it like you [in the newspapers]," said Wenger. "You are only vulnerable if you want to sell and you need money. (However), that doesn't concern me at all, that is down to the owners."
