Arsene Wenger says that Arsenal are "over-reliant" on Robin van Persie, indicating that the Gunners may need to buy a striker in the summer.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has hinted that the Gunners will be in the hunt for a new striker in the summer in order to ease the responsibility off Robin van Persie's shoulders.

The prolific Dutchman has scored 28 goals for the London club this season, the latest coming in Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Stoke City on Saturday.

"He has to push us over the line," said Wenger. "There are two games to go. We have been a bit over-reliant on him, I concede that. But it is difficult to change that before the end of the season."

Germany international Lukas Podolski has been linked with a switch to the Emirates in recent months.
