The new Premier League season will start in two weeks and Arsenal have not yet reinforced their squad adequately. The Gunners need top signings and Wenger has at least confirmed that the club will most likely sign a defender before the start of the season.
Top attacking players like Leicester City playmaker Riyad Mahrez and Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette have been linked. Moreover, Arsenal badly need a central defender this summer after veteran German star Per Mertesacker suffered a long term injury.
Arsene Wenger has confirmed that the club are looking to sign a defender and he thinks an experienced center half will join the club before the start of the new season.
The French manager claimed (Standard):
“Do I think we will sign an experienced central defender before the season starts? Yes, I do.”
The question is, who will be Arsenal’s new center back signing?
The North Londoners have moved in and opened talks to sign German international Shkodran Mustafi. It will not come as any surprise if the Valencia star moves to the Emirates this summer.
The 24-year-old star has played over 200 games in his career and has got the experience to improve Arsenal’s back line.
