Arsenal's Ray Parlour Urges Unai Emery to Sign Defensive Reinforcements in January Transfer Window

Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has urged Unai Emery to consider making more defensive reinforcements in the January transfer window to try and improve the team.

Despite signing Sokratis, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Lucas Torreira, Bernd Leno and Matteo Guendouzi, the former midfielder believes the injured captain Laurent Koscielny is the biggest loss to the Gunners.

Parlour told Express Sport: "For me centre-half he could probably strengthen. But he’s got [Laurent] Koscielny coming back, they’ve missed him, but he’s a little bit older but I’m sure he’s working hard to get back in the side so I think he’ll assess the situation when it comes to January.
