Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed they're on the brink of one major signing.

The Frenchman refused to name any targets but he did reveal he would "certainly" bring in a new face before the tournament begins in South Africa on June 11.

"We have a basic squad and I believe in the squad I have," he told arsenal.com. "But if I can make an addition - two or three maximum - then we will do it.

"I will try to do what I want to do as quickly as possible but I am not the only decider. It doesn't only depend on me.

"Ideally, you would want to do the job before the World Cup. It is difficult to give yourself the right timing.

"Certainly, we will announce one player before the World Cup. After that we will see."
