Wenger had identified a new central defender as a priority, but Sagna’s performances, Thomas Vermaelen’s pending return to fitness and the imminent capture of Flamini mean the club are no longer seeking a new defender.
One of Law’s main objectives was to rubber-stamp a deal for Mathieu Flamini, who trained with the Arsenal squad yesterday.
Law held a meeting with the 29-year-old defensive midfielder and his agent at around 1pm, with a deal expected to be confirmed before the weekend.
Of the three, Arsenal believe deals for Di Maria and Ozil will be the easier to conclude, with Benzema understood to be reluctant to leave the Bernabeu.
Law will look to conclude moves for Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye and Valencia goalkeeper Vicente Guaita before next week’s transfer deadline after having bids rejected last week.
Arsenal are also watching Juan Mata’s situation at Chelsea. The Gunners, though, are set to shelve plans to find a new defender after Bacary Sagna’s strong displays at centre back.
