Wenger: I rate Berbatov but there's no Arsenal bid

The Gunners boss admitted he admires the Bulgarian
but reiterated that he is not a January target, and
insists he is not close to signing anyone in this
window.
Arsene Wenger insists
Arsenal have made no bid for
Fulham striker Dimitar
Berbatov despite admitting
he admires the Bulgarian's
talent.
The Gunners were first linked with Berbatov at the
start of the month as injuries to Olivier Giroud and
Nicklas Bendtner left Wenger extremely light of
options up front.
Goal revealed on Thursday that north London rivals
Tottenham are eyeing a January move for the
Bulgarian as they look to bolster their own attacking
ranks, but Wenger is adamant he has made no move.
"Do I rate Berbatov as a player? Highly. Have we
made any approach to sign him? No," he added.
In October it was revealed that Wenger has agreed
the terms of a new contract to keep him at Arsenal
until the summer of 2016, and he has now hinted he
will stay.
"There's a point where you decide and a point where
you make it public," he said. "You can take that
sentence how you want."
