Thierry Henry has said that Arsene Wenger needs to sign four more players, if Arsenal are to challenge Chelsea for the Premier League title.
The Gunners finished third last season, 12 points behind Jose Mourinho’s team.
Wenger has already signed Petr Cech from the Blues, but Henry says that is not enough.
“That team, I think, has great mentality, top-quality players and match-winners. I still think they need four players to get closer to Chelsea,” he told Sky Sports.
“I compare it to my generation. I knew, for example, when I first arrived at Arsenal that if I was not performing after an hour, Dennis Bergkamp was on the bench sometimes or Kanu or Sylvain Wiltord or Davor Suker. Whoever it was, I knew I had an hour to perform.”
The former Arsenal striker, once again insisted that Wenger needs to bring in a new forward, with Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema heavily linked with a move.
“Olivier Giroud alone there as a natural-born striker, it is difficult, because they say when he does not score, it is very difficult,” he added.
“Hopefully, Theo Walcott could be the answer. You have a guy who you did not think was going to play as a striker, although he has been the talk of the town for a little while, him playing as a striker.
“You know some people still question Arsene Wenger, but I still think that Arsene has the right attitude and fire- the fire in his belly to try to make sure that team can win another title”.
