Arsenal vs. West Brom: Arsene Wenger Talks Transfers, Injuries, More in Presser

Nick AkermanMay 22, 2015

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed "all" of his players wish to remain at the Emirates Stadium next season, amid speculation stars such as Theo Walcott, Aaron Ramsey and Santi Cazorla could be on their way out.

Wenger spoke ahead of his side's Premier League match with West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, per Arsenal's official Twitter account:

Walcott is currently linked with a move to Liverpool, as reported by the Express (h/t Telegraph Sport). An incredible story from the Sun (h/t Jack Lang of the Mirror) suggests Barcelona will launch a £50 million bid for Ramsey, while Sky Sports' Guillem Balague suggested Atletico Madrid previously spoke with Cazorla.

However, Wenger isn't willing to break up his current squad. He had some kind words for Walcott:

Considering Arsenal have secured a third-place finish this season and have the FA Cup final to look forward to, Wenger has confirmed he will rest a couple of players during the Baggies' visit, as reported by the club:

He indicated Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mathieu Debuchy aren't far away from returning, while Danny Welbeck still has work to do to prove his fitness:

Wenger suggested, despite the upcoming Wembley trip, his players are focused on beating Tony Pulis' side:

The French boss also confirmed a new contract for veteran midfielder Tomas Rosicky, as reported by James Olley of the London Evening Standard:

Wenger may be tempted to leave key players such as Alexis Sanchez, Aaron Ramsey and Laurent Koscielny out of his next lineup with the FA Cup final in mind. Sanchez's running, in particular, has been impressive this season.

However, his productivity lowers when he's tired—highlighted during the loss to Swansea City and draw with Sunderland—so an extra rest could boost him for the final.

West Brom thrashed champions Chelsea 3-0 at The Hawthorns last time out. They are currently 13th but can finish as high as 10th with a win in north London and a big goal-difference swing in their favour.

Arsenal have grabbed just two points from their last three matches and have struggled to entertain with fast-paced, attacking football in recent weeks. Wenger's men will be intent on sending the home crowd away with a last Premier League result to celebrate, though.
