Thierry Henry: 'Arsenal need four signings to compete with Chelsea next season'

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry insists that Arsene Wenger needs to make four new signings in order to compete with current Premier League champions Chelsea.

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has insisted that the Gunners need to sign four more players to challenge Chelsea for the Premier League title.

The North London club finished in third place last season, and Henry has stated that boss Arsene Wenger should be looking to build on the squad's current quality before the start of the new campaign.

"That team, I think, has great mentality, top-quality players and match-winners. I still think they need four players to get closer to Chelsea," Henry told Sky Sports News.

"I compare it to my generation - I knew, for example, when I first arrived at Arsenal that if I was not performing after an hour, Dennis Bergkamp was on the bench sometimes or Kanu or Sylvain Wiltord or Davor Suker. Whoever it was, I knew I had an hour to perform."

Henry made 254 appearances for the Gunners between 1999 and 2007, scoring 174 goals in the process.
