The ex-Gunners goalkeeper has urged Arsene Wenger to
splash some cash this summer and has backed the north London outfit to compete
for honours if they recruit wisely
Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman believes the
Gunners can mount a challenge for the Premier League title if they sign “two or
three” players this summer.
Goal revealed that the north London club have met the
release clause in Marouane Fellaini's Everton contract, while they are also
close to finalising a deal for Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain.
And Seaman, who made 405 league appearances for Arsenal,
is convinced that signings of that ilk are required to help the Gunners end
their eight-year trophy drought and push them towards the Premier League
summit.
"I think they need just two or three signings and
they can challenge for the title," Seaman told Goal.
"When Arsenal play at their best, they are very hard
to beat."
Seaman's claims support those of former team-mate Ray
Parlour, who, speaking exclusively to Goal, urged Arsene Wenger to spend £100
million on Higuain, Fellaini and Wayne Rooney.
But Seaman does not believe new signings alone will
re-establish Arsenal at the top of the table, and has urged the the club to
change their wage policy to ensure their best players do not continue to leave.
"It is hard when you let your best players go,"
Seaman added. "Maybe [the club] could alter the wage structure [to prevent
it]."
