Arsène Wenger has assured Arsenal fans that his young charges are not worried about the possible takeover speculation surrounding the club at the moment.

The movement of shares at the highest level within the Arsenal boardroom have triggered speculation that the North London club are about to be owned by American tycoon Stan Kroenke, through his investment vehicle KSE group.

But Wenger says that all he is concerned about is securing the last Champions League position in the league and that continues with Bolton today at the Emirates Stadium.

Wenger said: "It is the minimum target we want to reach at the start of every season, and it will be like that every year.

"You want to be in the Champions League again and to win it next year you have to be in.

"We want to be there and nobody else so I do not worry about what will happen if they get in.

"In England, you have the potential of 10 massive clubs and they will not always be asleep.

"To smash in and compete in the top four, you will now have Aston Villa, Newcastle, Tottenham. They are all big clubs with the same potential as Arsenal.

"Bolton? I do not know whether they have the same potential fans as, say, Newcastle. If Newcastle have a good team, they would get 60,000 people every week."
