Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes the club still needs to pursue the signing of Lyon star Houssem Aouar despite the acquistion of Thomas Partey.
The Gunners spent the window strongly linked with the French midfielder but ended up signing Partey from Atletico just before the window closed.
As quoted by Metro, Wright told Premier League Productions: "I don’t mind that [Partey’s disciplinary record] because he’s somebody that does intercept. Already from his first game he’s got more interceptions individually than the rest of Arsenal’s midfield. He’s somebody that can win the ball but he can progress the ball.
"They still need more, he’s not the main one and that’s why Arsenal went for Houssem Aouar as well. I’m hoping they can still get him at some stage but Partey is a massive improvement on what Arsenal have got."
