Arsenal’s chief executive Ivan Gazidis has hinted the club will finally make a move to address their defensive plight, and snap up Gary Cahill or Christopher Samba.
The Gunners big wig has reassured fans that the club has no intentions of curbing their spending in the current transfer window, despite the arrivals of Gervinho and Carl Jenkinson.
And with Cahill and Samba already high on the hit list, Gazidis revealed he held positive meetings with Arsene Wenger in Asia to identify the man they wanted to plug the defensive gap.
‘We still will be active in this window,’ said Gazidis.
‘We haven't finished our business at all. We're just not conducting it publicly; we're working hard privately.
‘I was out in Asia because I could be with Arsène for an extended period of time and think very, very carefully about strategy and targets.
‘We understand where the weaknesses have been. Financially we're in a strong position, we have resources to spend.
‘We're certainly not sitting there saying ‘let's hold back on our resources’ for some reason, why would we?’
