    Arsenal will miss out on a top-four finish this season despite the arrival of Alexis Sanchez, Michael Owen says.

    Optimism is high at Emirates Stadium following the Chile international's arrival from Barcelona as they look to improve on last season's fourth place finish.

    While Owen acknowledged the forward's quality, the former England player believes that Arsene Wenger's side will struggle to qualify for the Champions League because of the strength of their rivals.

    He told talkSPORT: "The signing of Sanchez has made everyone sit up and take note. I really do rate him, he's a top player and it's a big step in the right direction.

    TRANSFER TALK: ALL THE LATEST RUMOURS

    1/2 "But, in no particular order, my top four for next season would be Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool."

    Brendan Rodgers's Liverpool were runners-up to City last season and Owen has warned his former side that they must improve if they wish to claim a first league title since 1990.

    "If Liverpool are going to progress again, they probably need to get better again," the 34-year-old told the club's official website.

    "Manchester City won the league, Chelsea have strengthened in a big way. From second to first is a big leap so Liverpool are going to need to be better again and the top-line performers are going to need to play as well, if not better."

    Liverpool have seen star man Luis Suarez depart for Barcelona, while England internationals Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert have been among the Merseyside club's close-season recruits to date.

    "They are two good buys," added Owen. "They were fantastic last year for Southampton and are proven in the Premier League.

    "Lallana could be a star. He has done fantastically well, has great feet and lovely balance. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in the Liverpool shirt.

    False alarm on the Keylor Navas to Bayern signing turns out that it wasn't officially confirmed. Now rumors are around saying that he'll sign with Real Madrid though THAT has yet to be confirmed.

    Cant believe Arsenal are making significant signings before the last day of the transfer window.

    I'm hearing that Khedira will be annouced in the next 48hrs...Arsene finally about that life or nah?

    Meanwhile Juve boss quit over the possible sale of Vidal for £35m...LVG should complete the deal this week.

    Jose is trying to hijack Khedira but offering him the wages he wants. Would be interesting to see how it pans out lol



    + Add Khedira...

    Surely Jose has to be sacked if he doesn't win the league now. No excuses from now on!
