Arsène Wenger has opened the door for Philippe Senderos to leave Arsenal and the manager may go into the transfer market to sign a replacement.

The Swiss centre half is back at Emirates Stadium at the moment after a season-long loan with Milan but he will be allowed to move to Goodison Park if the Merseyside club make their interest concrete.

Speaking at the launch of Arsenal’s new Charity of the Season, Wenger said he had adequate resources to cover the departure but was open to a new signing and did not rule out a swoop for Fulham defender Brede Hangeland.

“At the moment there's an interest from Everton [in Senderos] but he is still our player,” said the Frenchman at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

“He has an opportunity to go because he has one year to go on his contract. We will see what happens in the next week.

“If he goes, and if there is an opportunity, then we will look. But we still have Silvestre, Gallas, Djourou, Vermaelen and Song. That’s five centre backs."

Regarding Hangeland, Wenger said: “We’ve had a look at him. We have not contacted Fulham or contacted Hangeland. We have not made our choice so it is difficult to talk about names right now.”
