Arsenal legend Thierry Henry says they don't need to buy a new midfielder.

Henry echoed manager Arsene Wenger's view that the return of Jack Wilshere, and fellow midfielder Abou Diaby, will be like having two new signings in the squad.

The Frenchman said: "I saw what the boss said the other day and I will say what he said - hopefully they will sign this year Wilshere and Diaby.

"I thought it was a clever thing for him to say as usual.

"You need those guys around. Mikel Arteta did extremely well, but you need those guys also in the squad."
