Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits the club need reinforcement at the back and potentially up front following Sunday’s defeat to Manchester City
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits the club need reinforcement at the back and potentially up front following Sunday’s defeat to Manchester City.
Â
Stopper Johan Djourou picked up a groin injury against City which is set to rule him out for three weeks, further depleting Wenger’salready thin options in defence.
The Gunners are thought to be monitoring a host of defenders ahead of the transfer window reopening in January, with Ajax ace Jan Vertonghen among those believed to be on their radar.
With attackers Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh set to feature in the Africa Cup of Nations, Arsenalcould also be left short of options up front.
Highly-rated Lyon forward Yoann Gourcuff is reportedly a target, having been repeatedly linked to the North London club.
Short
Wenger, who saw his side beaten 1-0 in an entertaining encounter at the Etihad Stadium, is satisfied with his options in midfield but admits the squad needs strengthening elsewhere.
He told Arsenal’s official website: “We hope to have (Jack) Wilshere and (Abou) Diaby back so in midfield we have the numbers required.
“But at the moment we are short at the back and if Gervinho and Chamakh go to the Africa Cup of Nations we are short up front more than midfield.”
The manager added of the injured Djourou: “It is a groin problem. Usually that is 21 days.”

of course like your web-site however you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome to tell the reality then again I will surely come back again.
Hi to every single one, it
Wow, wonderful blog structure! How long have you ever been running a blog for?
you made blogging glance easy. The whole glance of
your website is wonderful, as well as the content material!
stop gap signing in my oiinpon. I think Walcott is slowly being earmarked for a centre forward role, based on the way he has played so far this season, and I think he has the potential to be world class in that position. Who knows what he’s doing out on the wing. You need to be a dribbler and/or playmaker to be a winger, and he is definitely no that. Sudden flurry of signings should not paper over the cracks in the midfield. We need to replace the creative burden vacated by Cesc and Nasri. We need two midfielders. Heard reports about a 35m Euro offer for Goetze. And, the board did write directly after selling Cesc that the funds would be reinvested in the SQUAD (not the upholstery in the boardroom!)Tbh, we could break the English transfer record by buying a creative midfielder and still have made a gargantuan profit this summer!!
