Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he has "plenty of names" under consideration as he seeks a new centre-half signing.
Wenger admits he needs to buy a new central defender before the summer market shuts.
"I wouldn't like to give you any names," said the Arsenal boss. "There are plenty of names that we consider and we analyse. We look at the financial possibilities and the technical potential. But it is impossible for me to come out with a name.
"We are still on the search because at the moment we only have three centre backs and we have seen last season you needed five. I believe we need at least four because we have some other players who can fill in this position but overall we are still on the search."
