Wenger looks for more strength this January

January 18, 2014 by 888Scoreonline

Arsene Wenger seems to be one of the most active managers this January, especially after his team is enjoying a top spot in the English topflight. Actually, this season has been like a dream for Wenger wherein he is getting success on all fronts including in signing his aspiring players. The 64-year-old French football manager informed about the good progress they are making in targeting thirty-year-old French footballer Bacary Sagna and twenty-nine-year old German footballer Per Mertesacker. According to his recent media bytes, he claimed to have successfully reached on pre agreement stage and soon they will lock both players for their squad. Notably, Arsenal is topping the leaderboard at the moment though the difference is just one point to second positioned Manchester City, therefore Wenger wants to add some more power into its army before they could begin second half of the English premier league. If he somehow succeeds in brining both of them to Holloway, they would add more beauty into their defense as they are well known for their defensive techniques. He expressed his confidence during a press meet on Saturday ahead of their next game with Fulham where he said, “We are making good progress, and hopefully we can announce something soon. It’s like UFOs – some see them everywhere! The transfer window is open until January 31. Are we close to signing anybody? At the moment I would say no. “

When asked about other notables in his list of target players, he denied naming anyone, however, he confessed to have been using Draxler during training sessions though he denied having any contract talk with him. If we look at Arsenal squad at the moment, there is an all-round strength in it even though they are missing some high profile names, like Ronaldo or Messi, still they have an adequate mix of both talent and experience and French manager is just capitalizing on his magic combination to climb the ladder of success this season.

Though, there is still more than enough games to go by which can be enough for any team to reverse the tally, therefore he is also in secret talks with more intense players like Dimitar Berbatov who is currently associated with Fulham and in the last stage of his contract. Since, he has unofficially announced that this season is the last in England; media curiously asked his future plans, but polity replied, “You can make a decision without going public. You can take that sentence how you want.”
