With out-of-contract midfielder Mathieu Flamini having already opted to sign for AC Milan and Alexander Hleb reported to be ready to buy out his contract and join Inter, Wenger looks set for a busy two months.
Arsenal have been linked with Portsmo
uth's Croatian winger Niko Kranjcar and Lyon's Hatem Ben Arfa, both valued around £12m, as well as Cameroon midfielder Jean Makoun - currently at Lille - while Valencia forward David Villa has talked of his admiration for the Gunners.
Wenger already has his main targets in mind and hopes to complete the deals by the end of the month.
"I know what I want and I am very confident," he said.
"I hope to turn that around in the next two or three weeks. They (fans) should be re-assured by what they see."
Wenger's main signing last summer was Croatia forward Eduardo da Silva, who later suffered an horrific broken leg at Birmingham, and the Frenchman indicated he may look closer to home this time around.
"It would be better to buy someone who has played in England because they are less risky, but it costs more money if they are from the Premier League," Wenger said.
"Maybe I will try to do both."
