A former Gunners forward believes the club must focus on signing defenders if they are to return to the Champions League next season
Former Arsenal striker Jeremie Aliadiere has revealed he is baffled by the club’s targeting of Wilfried Zaha and Everton Soares this summer, insisting their focus should be on signing defenders, rather than bolstering their attacking options.
The ex-France Under-21 international spent six years in north London between 2001-2007, time which included their last Premier League championship, in 2003-04.
The Gunners have missed out on qualification for the Champions League for the last three seasons and Aliadiere, speaking to 888sport, believes they must reassess their priorities in the transfer market if they are to return to Europe’s premier club competition next season.
