WENGER RUES MISSING OUT ON DI MARIA

-
Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has called on the English Authorities to change the 'Work Permit' rule which affects some player's transfer to the English Premier League.

Angel could have been a Gunner if not for the work permit.

The North London club are in the process of working out a deal for Brazilian born Villarreal defender Gabriel Paulista despite uncertainty over the 24 year old gaining a work permit.

Wenger has called a change to the system and it's not a surprise considering he missed the opportunity to sign a certain 17 year old Angel Di Maria back then due to the same work permit.

"We had identified Di Maria when he was 17. We wanted him to come here but he goes to Portugal, from Portugal he goes to Spain. Why? Because he could not get a work permit. That means that he can only come to England once he's worth a huge amount of money" Wenger stated.

The Argentine winger became the British record transfer last summer after signing for Manchester United for a fee of £59.7m.

I'm looking forward to playing alongside him in my last season and he thinks the same." Arsenal are...
