KUALA LUMPUR - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says the club is capable of retaining star midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri despite big money bids from Barcelona, Manchester City and Manchester United.

Barcelona has reportedly been negotiating with Arsenal for its captain Fabregas, while both Manchester clubs have expressed their desire to sign Nasri, who is in his last year of his contract.
Wenger also confirmed Monday that Gervinho has signed from Lille but was not included in the lineup that will play Malaysia this week on its tour of Asia.
