Arsenal looking to sign new defender

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed he is looking to bring in a new centre-back this summer.

Wenger is desperate to bolster his central defence as Sol Campbell, William Gallas and Mikael Silvestre have all left the club this summer.

“I wouldn’t like to give you any names,” Wenger told Arsenal’s  official website.

“There are plenty of names that we consider and we analyse. We look at the financial possibilities and the technical potential. But it is impossible for me to come out with a name.

“We are still on the search because at the moment we only have three centre-backs and we have seen last season you needed five.

“I believe we need at least four because we have some other players who can fill in this position but overall we are still on the search.”
