Arsenal boss Wenger pushes to close three signings this week

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger hopes to make three new signings this week.

The Telegraph says Arsenal are poised to complete the £12 million signing of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Southampton and also hope to confirm two further additions to their squad this week.

As well as Oxlade-Chamberlain, they are close to signing Joel Campbell as a replacement for Nicklas Bendtner, while Wenger remains determined to add one more centre-back.

The need for a new defender has been further heightened by injuries during their final pre-season friendly of the summer against Benfica on Saturday to both Kieran Gibbs and Thomas Vermaelen.
