It seems that another centre back, after Senderos, Gallas and Silvestre, is on his way out of the club. He is the fourth central defender Arsenal are losing this summer with only one incoming replacement in the form of Koscielny. If reports are to be believed, Campbell is undergoing a medical at Newcastle and his move would soon be sealed.
This leaves Arsenal with three recognized senior CBs (Djourou, Vermaelen, Koscielny) and youngster Nordtveit, who has been impressive in preseason. Song, additionally, can cover at CB, however, this new departure leaves Arsenal very lightweight in the central defense and Arsene Wenger must now surely be taking out his cheque to sign a new defender.
The question is, though, will the new defender be a first choice CB or just a squad player. With Djourou just back from a long layoff and Koscielny untested in the Premier League, it makes sense that Wenger should go for an experienced defender to partner Vermaelen. Who will be the defender Wenger will sign? We’ve got to wait approximately one month to know. Who do YOU think he will be?
