New face: Laurent Koscielny joined from Lorient[LNB]Arsene Wenger insists he is looking at 'plenty of names' as he bids to add Arsenal's defence ahead of the upcoming season.[LNB]The Gunners boss has seen Sol Campbell, William Gallas and Mikael Silvestre all leave the Emirates with only Laurent Koscielny joining the side from Lorient. [LNB]Johan Djourou has returned from injury but with Thomas Vermaelen that means Wenger has just three centre-backs with experience to call upon.[LNB]'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.' Arsenal weigh up move for Dutch midfielder Ibrahim Afellay as PSV Eindhoven look to selMark Schwarzer: I want to join Arsenal!
