Former Arsenal youth guru Liam Brady feels they need three signings this summer.

The Gunners have been urged to make at least three world-class additions in the summer by Brady in order to mount a serious challenge for the Premier League next season.

"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 Olivier Giroud could do with a partner or somebody to give him a rest every now and again," Brady told talkSPORT.

"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."
