Arsenal club legend urges manager Arsene Wenger to sign "real top, top class players" this summer

By

Arsenal club legend John Hartson has urged manager Arsene Wenger to sign "top class players" during this summer's transfer window.

The Welshman understands that it will not be an easy task for the Frenchman after the Gunners failed to qualify for next season's Champions League.

But he says it must be Wenger's priority to sign big players.

"Their priority this summer is to be in for big players," Hartson told Sky Sports.

"It's difficult attracting big names, the biggest names in football when you've not got Champions League of course.

"But Manchester United were able to attract them when they didn't have Champions League. They brought in the likes of Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan, one or two others.

"It's going to be difficult keeping hold of [Alexis] Sanchez but I think from Arsene Wenger's point of view, I've not really got a problem with Arsene Wenger staying on as Arsenal manager.

"He is a terrific manager, a brilliant man, I was fortunate to have worked with Arsene Wenger during my time at Arsenal.

"But I really want to see him in for the big names that become available in the world of football, I mean the real top, top class players."
