Wenger to reinforce it midfield

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he is looking to bolster his side’s midfield, but doesn’t as yet have a specific target in mind.With the exits of both Alexander Hleb and Gilberto Silva, Wenger has admitted that he is looking to reinforce it the midfield area with one perhaps two players.

“We will need one more body in there” he said when questioned about his midfield after the friendly against Szombatheyli.

“At the moment we do not have Alex Song who is going to the Olympic games, Abou Diaby was not here tonight and nor was Fabregas.

“If we find a reasonable target then we will do it. But there is no special name on the list. We have some time. We have until August 31. We left 11 players back in Austria for this game. They will play in Stuttgart on July 30.”

Before that, on Monday, Arsenal travel to Ritzing to play a Burgenland XI.
