Arsenal look set to strengthen their defence further by
snapping up Montpellier's Emir Spahic.
The Bosnia captain claims he is on the verge of signing for the
Gunners, who are short of cover at the back after seeing
experienced trio William Gallas, Sol Campbell and Mikael Silvestre
leave the club this summer.
Gunners full-back Bacary Sagna, who came through the ranks at
Bordeaux before joining Arsenal in 2007, has watched Spahic's
progress with Montpellier with interest, and admits that he would
make a good addition to the Arsenal squad.
Sagna said: "I used to follow him in French football last year
and he is a good player.
"He's definitely good enough to play for Arsenal and everyone
will welcome him if he does come."
