Arsene Wenger must sign players with "determination" this summer after a disappointing season in the Premier League and Champions League.
That is according to former Arsenal defender Matthew Upson, who believes Wenger needs personalities back in the squad for next term.
“Instead of one player, it’s a type of player I would like to see them sign," Upson told Bwin.
"Arsenal don’t necessarily need big names, but they have to display that drive and determination.
"You need a presence, whether that’s in defence or in the centre of midfield, to win the ball back and be dynamic and aggressive.”
Arsenal Injury News
Laurent Koscielny could play for Arsenal against Stoke on Saturday, Wenger has revealed.
Koscielny missed Wednesday's 2-0 win at Southampton that kept Arsenal in the running for a top-four finish.
And Wenger says the Frenchman may get a run-out against the Potters.
"He’s got a small chance," Wenger said.
"He was not far. He practised on Tuesday but it was risky to play him at Southampton."
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was injured in the Saints win and Wenger said: "It’s a minor hamstring problem. It was tight, but it was more fatigue."

Arsenal Transfer News
Arsenal will reportedly join Chelsea and Manchester United in the chase to land Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.
Express Sport understands Chelsea are keen on securing Spaniard Morata this summer.
But the Sun claim United are also pushing for the ex-Juventus forward, while Arsenal are willing to pay £50m for his services.
Morata has struggled for game time since returning to Real from Juve last summer.
The 24-year-old would break Arsenal's transfer record set by Mesut Ozil if he were to move to the Emirates.
It is claimed his arrival could pave the way for Alexis Sanchez to leave.
