Arsene Wenger believes that his Arsenal players need to take pressure off striker Robin van Persie.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes that his players rely too much on Robin van Persie to find the net and the Frenchman has admitted that it needs to change.

The Gunners failed to see off Norwich City in a 3-3 draw at the Emirates on Saturday and Wenger has urged his side to be more clinical in front of goal.

"When you look at the chances we created, it is absolutely unbelievable that we scored only three goals," said Wenger. "Again we are punished because Robin had to score and many times we do not get enough goals from elsewhere.

"We had so many obvious chances that you would want somebody else to score one. That does not happen enough. Of course we need to address that because I feel there was enough room to score six or seven goals."

Wenger will have more options up front next season after the North London club completed the capture of German striker Lukas Podolski.
