While Emmanuel Adebayor has been linked with a move to Serie A outfits Milan and Roma, as well as fellow Premier League club Chelsea, speculation has suggested Cesc Fabregas could join Primera Division giants Barcelona or Real Madrid.
However, the French tactician says he does not want a repeat of last summer, when the likes of Aliaksandr Hleb and Mathieu Flamini left the Emirates Stadium.
Indeed, it seems that if the north London outfit are to engage in any transfer activity it will be to bolster the Gunners' ranks.
"We lost Hleb and Flamini last summer and we have had to rebuild," Wenger is quoted as saying by Setanta.
"But we have done that now and the future looks bright. We don’t want to have to rebuild again, so I want to keep all the players together for next season. I don’t want to lose anyone.
"I want to add to the squad and have identified one or two targets. But identifying players and buying them are two different things.
"Ideally I would like to bring everybody in before we start back in pre-season training in July. I don’t want to leave it until the end of August."
