Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit believes that his former side need to spend big in the summer transfer window.

Arsenal are still in the hunt for the Premier League this season as they challenge Manchester City and Liverpool, but they have also been linked with some new signings in the summer.

One of those could be Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who is looking to move on at the end of the season.

Speaking to Compare.bet, Petit suggested reinforcing up front is necessary, but also pointed to a couple of other positions.

He explained: “Definitely. I think they need to add at least four players. Some wingers, strikers and midfield players, and a central defender. This is my opinion. I think some players in this team need competition to earn a place in the first XI. 

“Because, just like [Oleksandr] Zinchenko, for example, he was great last season but he’s not the same player this season. He’s on the bench, he’s injured, he’s got competition. 

“[Gabriel] Martinelli, [Bukayo] Saka as well, they need competition.”
