Ray Parlour thinks that AFC Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is too inexperienced at the moment to manage a club the size of Arsenal.

With only one year left on Arsene Wenger's current contract, various reports have touted Howe as a possible replacement for the Frenchman but Parlour says next summer will still be too soon for the 38-year-old.

"I don't think he would know enough about big foreign players to attract them," Gunners great Parlour said on talkSPORT.

"He is doing a wonderful job at Bournemouth and he could be a manager in the future for Arsenal, but I think it is a little bit too soon for him at the moment."
