London: Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that he will sign a defender before the new season but refused to name any individuals.
The Gunners have been linked with an array of defenders, including Bolton's Gary Cahill, Chris Samba at Blackburn and Everton's Phil Jagielka but nothing as yet has come to fruition.
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.
"I don't 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’t like to comment individually on any player, he told Arsenal's official website.
"Certainly, we will have to find one more defender," he said. "We [are] working on it.
"I 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's all about being steady, working very hard on it and being calm as well."
