John Terry believes Arsenal could ‘dominate’ the Premier League for the next three years but feels Mikel Arteta is still ‘missing’ a world-class striker in his squad.

Arsenal finished seven points clear of Manchester City to win their first Premier League title last month.

The Gunners are now in the market to improve their squad ahead of the new season with a new left winger among the list of targets .

Viktor Gyokeres scored 21 goals in his first season at Arsenal following his £64 million move from Sporting CP last year, but Terry doubts whether the Sweden international can become Arteta’s leading striker in the long term.

Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Tuesday, Terry was asked by the host about where Arsenal can improve in the summer transfer window.

‘I actually feel you guys are missing out on a top striker that’s going to get you 25, possibly 30 goals a season,’ Terry said.

You look at all the best sides over the past 20 years, Henry done it, Rooney done it, Drogba, every team had that one player up front who produced those goals.

Asked who he would sign, Terry replied: ‘ Harry Kane .

‘I’m actually not sure who would want to go to Arsenal, that’s the issue.

‘Worryingly, I think you guys for the next two or three years have got the opportunity to dominate.’

Elsewhere, Terry has endorsed Chelsea’s decision to appoint Xabi Alonso as manager and has urged the club to back the Spaniard with ‘experienced’ signings this summer.

‘It’s not been ideal and it’s probably been the worst season I’ve seen since I retired, to be honest,’ Terry said.

‘I think ownership and sporting directors went down the role of bringing in players who are young and maybe hungry, but my view has always been we need experience around this group of young players, I still think we desperately need that.

‘I’m hoping with Alonso coming in, after the disastrous season we’ve had, I think he’s a really good signing and actually I don’t think we could’ve got any better in the position we’re in.

‘He’s got a great football brain, I’ve come across him, played against him for many years, I think he’s going to sign some experienced players. I think if he gets the freedom to sign the players he wants, we could move in a direction that’s better for us.

‘Do I think we’re competing for the Premier League? No, I don’t. I think we’re a couple of years away from that.

‘But out of all the bad signings that there’s been, I think there’s been some really good ones as well.’
