'Chiellini would be the dream' - Arsenal urged by Parlour to land another centre-half

The Gunners have bolstered their defensive ranks this summer, but Unai Emery is considered to still be in need of reinforcements in that area

Arsenal “badly need to improve their defence”, says Ray Parlour, with Juventus stalwart Giorgio Chiellini considered to be “the dream” answer to the Gunners’ dilemma.

Unai Emery has already moved to bolster the ranks he inherited from Arsene Wenger, with deals done for Stephan Lichtsteiner and Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

They will add vital experience to the Emirates Stadium ranks, while Bernd Leno has been acquired to provide a reliable last line of defence between the posts.
