Former agent Barry Silkman believes Winston Reid would be a good signing for Arsenal.
The West Ham United defender, off contract in June, is being linked with the Gunners.
Silkman told talkSPORT: “His best position is as a central defender. When he played for New Zealand he played right of the three centre halves so half like a right back and half as a centre half.
“The qualities that he hasn’t got is to get forward and join in with the play, which in modern day football, your full backs have to get forward.
“He’s an excellent defender, he’s an excellent blocker of shots, but he is not a player who will come out of the back and play.
“Arsenal have to start getting defenders who defend. It’s all well having defenders who can pass the ball but they have to be able to defend.”
