David Seaman believes Arsene Wenger faces a massive test to keep his Arsenal side together if he loses Emmanuel Adebayor.
Italian giants AC Milan concede they face a tough task to prise the Togo striker away from the Emirates but insist they will not give up.
Midfielder Mathieu Flamini has already defected to Milan and Wenger has snapped up Marseille playmaker Samir Nasri to offset the impending loss of winger Alexander Hleb.
But Seaman maintains the loss of Adebayor, who hit 30 goals last season, would still be a hammer blow. The former Gunners keeper said last night: "There have been a couple of surprises in the people that have left and when you are looking at the squad, which is not the biggest in the world, it's worrying.
Then, when you see the names bandied around that might leave it makes you worry more. Adebayor would be a massive loss."
Seaman saw Wenger unearth a string of top class players during his time under the Frenchman, such as Nicolas Anelka, Kolo Toure, Patrick Vieira and Emmanuel Petit.
The Gunners boss is now at the European Championship armed with his cheque book and Seaman maintains that if anyone can appease a club's worried fans with a surprise signing it is Wenger.
He added: "No-one knows who he is watching and then he just pulls one out of the hat and everyone says: 'Where did he come from?'".
Wenger revealed he has been deeply impressed by Russia's much-sought-after playmaker Andriy Arshavin.
He said: "I won't invent anything if I say he has been the revelation of the tournament. A rumoured contact with Arsenal? As usual (there's speculation), but I've never met him."
