Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted he has "taken a gamble" on new signing Amaury Bischoff due to the young midfielder's fitness issues.The Gunners announced the signing of the Portugal Under-21 international from Werder Bremen on Wednesday afternoon.
And Wenger admits that after two groin operations, it will be at least two months before the 21-year-old is ready for action.
"Amaury is a young, promising player who we have taken a gamble on because he has been out for a long time," Wenger told the club's official website.
"We have to get him to a very good [fitness] level.
"He has talent but we'll have to wait two or three months to get him competitive. He has had two surgeries on his groin so it is a gamble on his talent."
