Fellaini is out of contract at Manchester United this summer and has so far rejected offers of a renewal.
The Belgium international has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent days, with a potential free transfer on the cards.
Reports claim Fellaini’s wage demands has put the Gunners off a deal.
But Parlour reckons the 30-year-old could be a useful addition to the squad due to his versatility.
Another player where people will say ‘yeah, that’s a decent signing’
“I’ve never really known what his best position is, Fellaini,” he told Sky Sports.
“I know he’s played as an attacking midfielder and then he’s been a holding midfielder.
“When people are on free transfers, he’s something different.
“Even if he didn’t start, you can bring him off the bench and if you’re chasing a goal, you might have to play a different style of football.

“Go a little bit more direct up to the front, and he’s perfect for that.
“I’m sure Arsenal players will be looking at it and thinking ‘we’re going to be linked with quite a few players’, but who comes in the door? Whether Fellaini does we’ll have to wait and see.
“But certainly he’s a player who can change the system of play when he comes on, whether it’s off the bench or even if he starts the game.
“So another player where people will say ‘yeah, that’s a decent signing’.”
