Former Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg believes the Gunners will need to replace striker Emmanuel Adebayor this summer, rather than relying on their existing offensive force.
The Togo international striker has joined the big-money revolution at Manchester City in a transfer reportedly worth around £25 million.
The Swede, now playing in the United States with MLS outfit Seattle Sounders still monitors his old club and believes Adebayor was a great asset to the squad.
"He's a great player so of course it's a loss," Ljungberg told Sky Sports News. "He's important because he is so big, he can hold the ball up.
"If they want to play with crosses, like they have, I think they need to get someone like him, which is hard."
Ljungberg also believes Manchester City will need to improve in areas other than attack in order to dislodge Arsenal and really impose themselves on the top four this season.
He said, "I hope Arsenal will go above fourth place.
"They [City] have bought a lot of strikers, but to have a proper chance they need to buy some midfielders and defenders."
