Gary Neville tells Arsenal what position they need to strengthen during summer transfer window

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has urged Arsenal to try and bring in a central defender during the summer transfer window.

The north Londoners currently sit just one point behind Premier League leaders Manchester City, although Pep Guardiola's side have a game in hand on Mikel Arteta and co. The Gunners had been above City by eight points just over five weeks ago before a run of four winless games saw their title hopes derailed, in large part due to William Saliba's back injury.

In the 27 league fixtures that the French international started in, Arteta's men conceded just 25 times. But in the six games that Rob Holding took Saliba's place, Arsenal shipped 13 - illustrating just how vital the former Marseille loanee is to the way they set up their defence.
