Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin believes Arsene Wenger must splash the cash if the Gunners are to sustain their impressive start.
The north London club have convincingly won their opening two Premier League matches against Everton and Portsmouth, as well as beating Celtic in the Champions League.
But Arshavin fears Wenger’s relatively small squad will struggle to cope when injuries and suspensions inevitably take their toll.
The Russian compares the size and strength of Arsenal’s squad to the likes of Everton rather than Manchester United and Chelsea.
Arshavin told the Sunday Times: “We still have to buy. That’s my opinion.
“We shouldn’t set Everton as a benchmark, we should be looking at the top teams of Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona.
“We should buy first-class players, regardless of their age. We should buy the ones who should improve our game. The top teams have much bigger squads than ours and that is why we have to buy.”
