Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara says Arsenal are a signing away from being a challenger to champions Manchester City.

O'Hara was speaking after Arsenal's win at Bournemouth.

He told Sky Sports: "I think in terms of the midfield, definitely if they can maybe add one, like Tielemans or someone like that from Leicester. If they get someone in like that then you're talking about a better squad.

"But if you look at the bench, the bench isn't poor. Nketiah, Smith Rowe, Tierney, who was one of their main guys last season who everyone was like 'he should be the next Arsenal captain' - he can't get in the team.

"So I wouldn't say they've got a weak squad, they've massively improved the XI. And now you're seeing with Jesus, Zinchenko, with [Gabriel] Martinelli who looks like he's really come strong.

"I think Arsenal are going to be right there. In terms of catching Man City, that's the benchmark for everyone right now, I don't think they're there yet. But they're not far off it."

O'Hara also said: : "They are looking a bit special this Arsenal side. They look like Man City, in a way.

"It's almost like they're playing like Pep Guardiola's Man City, it's almost a joy to watch. And I'm a Spurs fan. They're looking like a team that could actually be in amongst it."
