Arsenal hero Seaman: Wenger perfect for Chelsea

Arsenal legend David Seaman says Arsene Wenger would the perfect replacement for under-pressure Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri.

Wenger has repeatedly said he would not return to the Premier League out of respect for the Gunners.

But Seaman thinks his former manager would be ideal at Stamford Bridge.

“Arsene always said he wouldn’t come back to the Premier League because of his love for Arsenal, that he wouldn’t feel right competing against Arsenal,” Seaman told Talksport.

“But obviously time’s a healer and he could think, ‘I want to go back there and prove a few people wrong’.

“For me, Arsene got a lot of criticism that wasn’t deserved over his last few years at Arsenal.

“It looks like there could be a vacancy at Chelsea quite soon, depending on their next three games which are three big games for Chelsea.

“He’d be great there, I think. He’d be great anywhere, he’s a fantastic manager.

“I would love to see him back, but I don’t think it would happen.”
