Arsenal hero Ray Parlour says they need four major signings this summer to turn into challengers.

Parlour says there's weaknesses running through the team.

"Arsenal need three or four better players," he told talkSPORT. "They have to get a centre half, a couple of midfielders and a striker.

"It's massive for Arsenal to qualify for the Champions League. This is the first season where they are under pressure. Tottenham are getting better, Chelsea are a threat and Liverpool are also there. It looks like four teams battling it out for two positions.

"It's not just the financial side of it, it's attracting other players. It's so much easier to get a player when you're in the Champions League. The top, top players want to play in the Champions League every year and if you're not in it then it's difficult to get those sort of players to sign for you."
