Arsenal<\/a> manager Arsene Wenger<\/a> has confirmed that he will sign a defender before the new season but refused to name any individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Gunners have been linked with an array of defenders, including Bolton\u2019s Gary Cahill, Chris Samba at Blackburn and Everton\u2019s Phil Jagielka but nothing as yet has come to fruition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wenger revealed on Friday that he is on the look out to strengthen his backline after some high profile mix-ups last season cost his side valuable points.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to comment individually because I do not want to destabilise clubs. I do not want to do to other clubs what some clubs do to us so I wouldn\u2019t like to comment individually on any player, he said told Arsenal’s official website.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly, we will have to find one more defender,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are working on it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI can promise we work very hard on it. In fairness, everybody looks for players. Everybody looks for the same area and you see that nobody turns up with magic. It\u2019s all about being steady, working very hard on it and being calm as well.”<\/span><\/p>\n
