Arsenal will be busy in the transfer market this summer, as they aim to close the gap at the top of the table next season, according to club legend Liam Brady.

The Irishman saw his beloved Gunners fail to keep pace with Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table in the second half of the season leaving many supporters calling for an overhaul in player personnel this summer.

“There will be a lot of business done this year and I think we will be spending a bit more money than we have done in past seasons. I think Arsenal will spend this year,” Brady, who is head of youth development at Arsenal, told talkSPORT.

“Where are the players to go around everybody? It is not only the clubs in England, but also all the big European clubs are in the transfer market,” he added.

Brady is also confident that Samir Nasri will stay at the Emirates Stadium despite recent contract talks breaking down.

“We all rate Nasri,” said Brady.

“I believe they had extensive contractual talks but not reached a conclusion, but sometimes it takes time.

“I am optimistic he will be playing with Arsenal next year.”

The France playmaker has been the subject of speculation linking him with him with a move to Manchester United and German giants Bayern Munich, but assured fans to ignore rumours via his Twitter page last night.
