Arsenal need a new spine to challenge Chelsea

Every single summer the old adage that “Arsenal are three signings from winning the title” crops up, and this season it has come up a little earlier thanks to the Arsenal legend Ray Parlour.

Speaking n the Express, the famous Gunner was asked what positions Wenger needs to buy in and he said: “Straight down the spine of the team.”

“Arsenal need to look at signing a new centre-half and definitely a central midfielder because people like Mikel Arteta may leave in the summer.

“They’ve got to look at their goalkeeping situation, whether Wojciech Szczesny is moved on and replaced with Petr Cech, who has always been mentioned.

“He would be a great signing for Arsenal if Chelsea will let him go there.

“If Wenger can add a bit of quality, I think they will have a really good run next year, progress, and maybe get a bit closer to Chelsea, or whoever it is next season, to win the Premier League.”

So an you imagine Wenger seriously trying to but THREE top-quality signings to make Arsenal favourites to win next years title? It would be fantastic if we brought in Petr Cech to replace Szczesny, but who would be the other two signings we need to take us to the next level?
