Arsene Wenger denied Arsenal are close to welcoming another new face to the Emirates Stadium, with the Premier League side reportedly keen on a move for West Brom centre-back Jonny Evans.
Evans, a long-term reported Arsenal target, continues to be linked with leaving West Brom, who have not won in the Premier League since August.
Arsenal have already bolstered their defensive options in the January transfer window by bringing in Greek centre-back Konstantinos Mavropanos from PAS Giannina, although Wenger has suggested the 20-year-old could be sent out on loan.
And Wenger, whose side were knocked out of the FA Cup by Nottingham Forest on Sunday, claims Arsenal are not closing in on Evans.
"No, I cannot give you any news on any transfer because we are not close to signing anybody," the Frenchman said in his post-match press conference.
"We signed a Greek boy [Mavropanos] who looks quite good in training but apart from that, we have not done anything.
"Will we be out there to do something? Yes we will."
