Ciani & Juan on Wenger's radar

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is eyeing more defensive reinforcements despite the imminent arrival of Sebastien Squillaci. Squillaci is expected to join Arsenal later this week after Sevilla accepted an offer for the Frenchman's services. Squillaci is due to have a medical with Arsenal as he looks to secure his switch to Emirates Stadium. Wenger has been on the hunt for new central defenders all summer and he is still in the market for more additions even if he lands Squillaci. Arsenal lost William Gallas, Sol Campbell, Mikael Silvestre and Philippe Senderos and Wenger believes further new arrivals are needed. Roma's Brazilian defender Juan and with Bordeaux's Michael Ciani are both believed to be on Wenger's radar as he considers bringing in another defender before the close of the transfer window.
