Arsene Wenger looking to find lower-league stars as he admits 'the good players are there now'

Arsenal will be looking to sign players from the lower leagues in England, because Arsene Wenger believes that is now where the value is to be found.

Wenger has already signed Rob Holding from Championship side Bolton this summer, and could be forced to throw the 20-year-old straight into Premier League action on the opening day of the season.

And the Arsenal boss has explained that he will continue to scour the Championship and below as he looks to improve his squad.
