Robert Pires wants Victor Wanyama at Arsenal

Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama would be the perfect signing for Arsenal, according to former Gunners midfielder Robert Pires.

Former Arsenal attacker Robert Pires has called on the Gunners to make a move for Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama.

The capital outfit are expected to be in the market for a new central midfielder in January following the recent injury to Francis Coquelin.

Pires has said that Wanynama needs to add more goals to his game in order to become a "world-class" player, but has picked the 24-year-old as a perfect signing for Arsene Wenger.

"I know Wanyama. He is a very good ambassador of Kenyan football and has done well in Southampton but I hope he signs for Arsenal in the future," Pires told Kenyan journalists.

"He has the speed, skill and physique. However, I think he needs to score more goals because then he will be world-class material."

Kenyan international Wanyama was strongly linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.
