Arsene Wenger has revealed he plans to buy a central midfielder before the end of the summer transfer window.
The Gunners have been left glaringly light in the engine room following the departures of Mathieu Flamini and Gilberto Silva, and Wenger recognises the void.
Aaron Ramsey has arrived from Cardiff, but his performance in the friendly against Szombathelyi suggested he will need time to mature before he is ready for The Premier League.
Arsenal have been linked to Gareth Barry, Xabi Alonso and Torsten Frings during the close season, while Amaury Bischoff of Werder Bremen is strongly tipped to move to Emirates Stadium.
Wenger insists he has not settled on a final midfield target, but he assured the Gunners faithful he does plan to strengthen.
“We will need one more body in there,” he said of his midfield when questioned on Arsenal’s official website.
“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.”
