Unai Emery suggests that he wants Arsenal to sign a player of a similar stature to that of Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has suggested that he wants to add another leader to his first-team squad.

The Gunners currently find themselves in the top four of the Premier League standings, while the North London outfit have also reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

However, Arsenal will be active during the summer transfer window, and Emery has indicated that he wants to sign a player of a similar stature to Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk.

Emery told Goal.com: "I think we can improve first, by spending money to achieve players. In the past the club have done great work in watching players, finding and signing young players and developing our players in the academy.

"I have big respect for our work, for our players in the academy. I want to develop the players here - giving them progress to achieve something at a big club like we are.

"We can also achieve [buy] some players who are in other teams, who can come here and give us this performance - like Van Dijk with Liverpool."

Reports have indicated that the size of Emery's transfer budget is dependent on whether the club qualify for next season's Champions League.
