Wenger needs at least two new signings, says legend O'Leary
David O'Leary says Arsenal need to bring in two new players during the transfer window to boost their squad.
O'Leary, who had 20 years at Highbury as a player, expects Wenger to move in the January transfer window to improve his squad.
Former Gunners defender O'Leary was speaking after Arsene Wenger made Cesc Fabregas his new captain.
The 21-year-old Spain midfielder was today named captain after defender William Gallas was stripped of the armband following his ill-advised criticism of team-mates last week.
O'Leary said: "I think he needs to bring in a couple of good players - it's not for me to say who - but I think he knows these young players are very much a mixture of the same thing.
"I think he wanted to bring in one player before the campaign started and he'll be desperate to do it in the next transfer window - but January isn't the ideal time."
Former Gunners defender O'Leary added on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I think Arsene Wenger did the right thing at the right time (giving the job to Gallas) but what's happened with him (Gallas) - it's right he's done it now."
