Arsenal transfers: ‘Gunners need at least three summer signings’

Liam Brady believes that Arsenal must make three key signings if they are to challenge for the Premier League next season.

The Gunners saw their title bid come to a shuddering halt in the second half of the season after a promising start to the campaign was hampered by injuries to key personnel.

And Arsenal legend Brady feels that Arsene Wenger needs to bring in at least three major signings this summer.

“Olivier Giroud has done a marvellous job up there on his own this season and we lost Theo Walcott for a lot of the season, who was chipping in with a lot of goals.

“But I do think Giroud could do with a partner or somebody to give him a rest every now and again. You need two or three top-class strikers if you’re going to win the title.

“A defensive midfield player and a central defender [are also needed]. So there will be maybe three players on the shopping list and I think the club have put themselves in a position to do business this season.

“If we can win the FA Cup and qualify for the Champions League there is a real platform to build on.”
