The Gunners begin their fight for Champions League glory with an away trip to Adre and Jordan Ayew’s Olympique Marseille. Marseille who were runners up in the French Ligue 1 behind moneybags PSG last season provide a tricky start for the Frenchman and his Arsenal troop.
Wenger said ahead of their Champions League game on Wednesday:
“In the French league you have PSG and Monaco who attract top-level world-class players. That means all the best French players go to the other clubs and that makes everybody stronger.
“They [Marseille] bought Dimitri Payet who is a creative player. Then have Andre-Pierre Gignac the centre forward for the French national team. The playmaker of the French team Mathieu Valbuena is there so they have good offensive potential.
“Florian Thauvin has just arrived there. He has been sold from Lille to Marseille. I think he played over the weekend but he’s not completely physically ready yet.”
