Arsenal boss hedges his bets over Smalling move

Arsene Wenger is coy over a move for promising Fulham defender Chris Smalling. The Arsenal boss feels the Gunners currently have enough cover at centre-half, following the re-signing of former captain Sol Campbell.

"He is a player we know, yes, but there is no truth in it at the moment," Wenger said.

"Maybe in the future. At the moment is at the moment. I never rule anything out.

"I never speak about transfers.

"It is very interesting to make headlines, but the most important is that we inform the press when things are done.

"If the press knows every moment about every single transfer, I do not think that is right."
