Arsenal legend Thierry Henry believes the club is no longer attractive to the world's best players.

He wrote for The Sun: "It kills me to say this as an Arsenal fan, but my old club are not an attractive destination any more for the top, top players.

"Why would the leading players who can have a real impact in the Premier League and improve that Arsenal team come to the Emirates?

"And I don't base this on the fact that Arsenal look like they won't qualify for the Champions League next season.

"The club has money, we are told, so the wages must be on offer. And yes, London is great, the stadium is great.

"But it's not just money, London or a shiny stadium. It's the chances of success."
