Arsenal legend Tony Adams thinks the club cannot move forward under Mikel Arteta unless a big change is made.

The former Gunners captain has a lot of admiration for Arteta and how he has gone about his work since taking over from Unai Emery.

But Arsenal are still away from the top four and Adams knows they cannot compete for titles until drastic changes are made.

"He (Mikel Arteta) is doing a great job," Adams told Sky Sports.

"I really like the man and his enthusiasm. I am glad he is well and recovered from the virus.

"I have been speaking for the last 10 years about recruitment at the club and I think that really needs to up it's game.

"The coach is irrelevant. (Unai) Emery was a fantastic coach but recruitment let him down.

"If you get that right then the coach has a chance."
