Arsenal great Tony Adams has taken fresh aim at their transfer policy.

Adams has slammed Arsenal's recruitment policy and says the club will get nowhere signing the likes of Willian.

He told Stadium Astro: “Why have you brought Willian into the squad? If you have got him just to make up the numbers because he has got a bit of experience, where are you going with that?

“I have cried out about the recruitment on more than one occasion. Edu is very inexperienced and they were heavily reliant on agents to get players into the club.

"All of a sudden you have got Willian, Cedric, all the same agent. We have got so many kids coming through, don't buy these players!

“You spot areas of the squad that are weak. You don't go and get Willian on a three-year contract, that is going nowhere. That is really poor sports directorship.

“We all get ones wrong, but if you are building a club to win the league then you don't fill up areas when you have good kids coming through."
