CESC himself has been very careful in making any type of statements about the issue recently , on Wednesday refusing to rule anything out or in, simply saying he was "calm'' over the whole situation.
The European champions are expected to improve their £27 million offer, and while that is still likely to be undervaluing the Gunners' captain, a deal is anticipated to be agreed.
Coming to the other two very important bearers of arsenal shirt CLICHY and NASRI , who are both out of contract at the end of next season, over demands for inflated wages, with free-spending Manchester City now unsurprisingly a likely destination for both.
"We are in a waiting period, everybody is waiting that the other [club] moves,'' Wenger said in an interview with Alsace TV.
"Everybody has their cards in [their] hands, hoping for the big transfer.
To keep up to this cut-throat competition level , the stakes are higher than ever , very naturally the arsenal fans will be demanding some additions in order to balance the expected departures.
Defence is an area where wenger himself feels the need to be improved , with Bolton centre-back Gary Cahill emerging as the preferred candidate, although whether the Gunners will match his £17 million price tag remains to be seen.
Argentina youngster Ricardo Alvarez says it would be a "dream'' for him to move to Arsenal, but the agent of Brazilian midfielder Denilson claims interest from AC Milan is unfounded, and as such the player will report back for pre-season next week.
The Arsenal manager, though, knows after another season which promised so much but failed to deliver following a cataclysmic collapse after defeat in the Carling Cup final, the focus will be on just how Arsenal can respond, with title rivals already active in the transfer market.
