Wenger - Defence must improve
Gunners boss recognises need to reinforce rearguard
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits that he wants to improve his side's defence over the summer.
The Gunners conceded 37 goals as they finished fourth in the Premier League in 2008/09, 18 points behind champions Manchester United.
And Wenger - who is in Beijing while evaluating Chinese players - recognises his young team need to improve at the back if they are to end a four-year trophy drought.
"The last season was very interesting because we had a sloppy start and then we became stronger and stronger," said the Frenchman.
"It has been interesting as well because it is a very young team, but they have been tested mentally.
"The defensive record, that is an area that we want to work on and that we want to improve."
