Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has urged Arsene Wenger to sign Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso this summer.
The north London club expressed an interest in the Spain international last summer when it appeared his services were no longer required at Anfield.
A deal never materialised and Alonso stayed on Merseyside before enjoying his best season with the club.
But, his future is once again in doubt with Liverpool renewing their interest in Aston Villa's Gareth Barry and Arsenal could make a move for the classy midfielder.
And Fabregas believes his fellow countryman would be an ideal singing for Arsenal as they bid to close the gap on the top three.
'We need someone in the middle to make competition and make a difference, plus give us a new dimension,' said Fabregas.
'I think that is all we need. The rest is perfect.
'Xabi (Alonso) would be great. He's experienced and can score goals. I'm sure the boss is aware of that fact.'
