Wright claims Tottenham man could have been a smart signing for Arsenal and believes Gunners need to do more in transfer market

Arsenal legend Ian Wright says the club still need to improve their squad depth if they are to go one better and win the Premier League title this season.

The Gunners have so far signed Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori and completed the permanent signing of goalkeeper David Raya following his loan spell at the club.

But speaking on Sky Bet’s The Overlap, Wright says Arsenal need more signings if they are to end Man City’s dominance – and believes new Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke could have been a good addition.

 “I’m really happy with how pre-season has gone and getting in Calafiori,” Wright said.

“I know there’s something else in the works for Arsenal, they’re going to try and do something and they have to. They need to get 90 plus points.

“If something comes up they will do it. They need the bench to be better.

“You know, I wouldn’t have been too… that wouldn’t have bothered me if they (Arsenal) went for Solanke.

“With [Gabriel] Jesus and [Gabriel] Martinelli, they lost their place last season but we can probably get the goals from them if they get back to where we know they can be.

“They’re better than they showed last season.

“Dominic Solanke could be the signing of the season at £65m.”
