Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman has claimed that new boss Unai Emery is yet to put his stamp on the team.

Emery took over from Arsene Wenger in the summer, but has endured mixed fortunes in his start to the Premier League season. 

"I am still waiting to see Emery's stamp on Arsenal," Seaman said before the FIFA Best awards.

"At the moment, I still see Arsene Wenger's team but we're playing different ways.

"But the ways we are playing at the moment [means] we are creating problems for ourselves when we play out from the back.

"He needs to sign top quality players as in marquee players. He needs to get the defence to tighten up but also defend as a team.

"When I was there we defended as a team. It wasn't just the back four, or the midfield. It was the whole team that defended and then we attacked and at the moment it is a little bit disjointed."
