Henry implores Arsenal to make quality signings

Thierry Henry suggests Arsenal needs a quartet of quality signings if they are to genuinely challenge for the Premier League title.

The Gunners drew 0-0 with league leaders Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday which saw them remain 10 points behind their London rivals with five fixtures remaining.

In the wake of the result, which didn't quite go the way the Gunners wanted, Henry implored Arsene Wenger to go out and get some experienced talent in order to bring home an evasive league title.

"Arsenal need to buy four players, they need that spine," the Frenchman said on Sky Sports' Super Sunday.

"They need a goalkeeper, they still need a centre-back, they still need a holding midfielder and, I'm afraid, they need a top, top-quality striker in order to win this league again.

"The best example for me today was Chelsea. They struggled last year and they were still competing to win the league. They now have [Thibaut] Courtois, [Nemanja] Matic, Cesc [Fabregas] and Diego Costa.

"For me that speaks volumes, and we saw it today. A team didn't and a team did, and Chelsea are about to win the league."
