Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he is only looking to sign a goalkeeper before the season kicks off next month.
The Gunners, who narrowly missed out on the Premiership title to Manchester United last season, are forced to be tight with their money due to their plans to move to a new stadium at Ashburton Grove.
He told Sky Sports before Arsenal's friendly with non-league Barnet this afternoon that he was only looking to sign a keeper. The FA Cup winners drew the game 0-0.
"We're not just afer a goalkeeper, we are trying to extend the deals of Vieira, Pires and Bergkamp," he said.
"But we are not in the market for anyone else other than that."
Arsenal have been linked with Leeds' Paul Robinson and Valencia's Santiago Canizarez, amongst others, since David Seaman quit the club and joined Manchester City.
 
Gunners chase Canizares!

Story from Football 365....

Arsenal have admitted they are in talks with Valencia over a possible deal for Spanish international goalkeeper Santiago Canizares.

Boss Arsene Wenger is looking for a new experienced number one after David Seaman left for Manchester City.

And Canizares, a Spanish title winner and twice a Champions League finalist, appears to fit the bill.

According to The Guardian the Gunners have been tracking Canizares since the end of last season.

They have already failed with tentative bids for AC Milan pair Christian Abbiati and Nelson Dida.

Wenger said: "We are talking and we are hopeful. At the moment I cannot give you a definite name of who we will buy because we have not got that far. But Canizares is one of them, that is true.

"I have confidence in Stuart Taylor but we're not sure he can go through a whole season as first choice."

Signing Canizares would be a boost for the Gunners, who have failed to make a splash yet in the summer transfer market.

This would be a great coup like.

Arsenal swoop for dortmund keeper
Arsenal's search for a goalkeeper to replace David Seaman seems to be over with a deal set to be made for Borussia Dortmund stopper Jens Lehmann.
It is understood the Gunners, who have been linked with a possible bid for Valencia keeper Santiago Cainzares, have agreed a three-year contract with the 33-year-old Lehmann, although Dortmund are holding out for more money.
The website of German football magazine kicker reports that the Gunners may have to increase their bid of £1.7million with the Bundesliga club seeking a figure in the region of £2.5million.
Lehmann, once at target for Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier, has played 129 matches for Dortmund, where he is contracted until 2004.
The Gunners are currently on a pre-season training camp in Austria and will tonight play local side SC Ritzing.
 
Bit disappointed with this, would have been much happier if we signed Robinson or Canizares. Never mind we'll just need to give this guy a chance.
 
I actually remember him having a stinker when he'd just signed for Dortmund, that should inspire the Gunners on here! :mrgreen:

Well if it's coming from you, Lehmann must be good.

He also scores goals! :)
 
Yeah i know about him, but i remember Lehmann scoring a goal for Schalke against Dortmund when he played for them.
 
Finally we've signed a new keeper and it is German international Jens Lehmann!

Story here:
German international goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has joined Arsenal from Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.

Lehmann, 33, who won the German league title with Dortmund in 2002, was also a member of the Germany World Cup squads in 1998 and 2002, in addition to their EURO 2000 squad.

Jens is a vastly experienced goalkeeper, who has made a combined total of nearly 400 appearances for FC Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund. During his time with these clubs, he made over 50 appearances in European competitions, winning the UEFA Cup with Schalke in 1997 and finishing a runner-up in the same competition with Dortmund in 2002.

Lehmann has some experience of Highbury, as he played against Arsenal in last season's UEFA Champions League, appearing in both matches in the first group stage of the competition.

Manager Arsène Wenger said: "Jens Lehmann is a great signing for Arsenal Football Club. He is a very experienced goalkeeper who has proved his quality playing in the Bundesliga, in the Champions League and also for his country. Jens will greatly improve the strength of our squad and I am very happy that we have signed a player of his ability.

"Today's medical was positive so that mean's he can join us [in Austria] on Sunday. I am pleased because he is used to playing under big pressure, he is intelligent and we got him at the right price.

"If you look at the side we had out against Austria Vienna, add the French players who are not back yet and then Lehmann, we are competitive again."

After completing his move to the Gunners, Lehmann said: "I am delighted to be joining Arsenal. They are one of Europe's great clubs and they have many fantastic players. Hopefully I will impress the Club and its supporters and I'm also very much looking forward to playing in the English Premier League."
