Londoners Arsenal are reportedly exploring the free - agent market in their quest to bolster the defense, according to reports in the United Kingdom.

Using the Daily Mirror as our guide, it is being said that Arsene Wenger is on the lookout for a center back to provide cover for Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny, and has beamed his searchlight on ex Fenerbahce duo Joseph Yobo and Diego Lugano.

Joseph Yobo has the experience of playing in the English Premier League, having previously turned out for Everton and Norwich.

This website understands that the 34 - year - old has been proposed to a couple of unnamed teams in England and Turkey, but he would consider a move to Qatar if he does not get a firm offer from the European teams.

Joseph Yobo retired from international football after the World Cup, having played 100 games for the Super Eagles.
