Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has again confirmed he will soon make a new signing although he opted not to reveal the name of the player.

With the Gunners losing Swiss International Philippe Senderos who could soon be joined by William Gallas and Sol Campbell in leaving the club, the Frenchman revealed that at least one player will be brought in to reinforce the defensive department of his squad.

Earlier this week, Wenger explained how the North London Club made an approach for Laurent Koscielny, also saying how negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing. However, the Frenchman added that an announcement about any possible new signings will only be made when the deal is officially finalised.

Arsenal’s only signing ahead of the new season so far has been Marouane Chamakh who signed from Bordeaux although last month Wenger was quoted as saying that one or two more signings will be done with reports suggesting that a new goalkeeper is what Wenger wants to add to his squad.

On his transfer strategy, the Gunners manager said:

Nothing has been done yet but I expect something will be done quite soon on that front, on the defensive front. We will sign a player soon.

But we do not want to come out with names before we announce it.

Keep faith in what has always worked well for us and that is to keep it secret as much as we can.
