This follows Wenger’s recent announcement that he’d be calling time on 22 years as Arsenal manager at the end of this season, and the club now face a huge decision over who to bring in next.
The latest from the Daily Mail suggests Mikel Arteta is a leading contender to replace Wenger, though bigger and more proven names such as Massimiliano Allegri and Julian Nagelsmann remain in the frame.
Speaking at his final post-match press conference Wenger expressed the view that the club need just two or three signings to turn this squad into genuine Premier League title contenders next season.
‘Yes, I see a bright future for my successor because the team has a good attitude and has quality,’ Wenger is quoted by Arseblog.
‘We need two or three additions, but after that I believe the club will compete for the Premier League.’
This may be slightly ambitious from the 68-year-old, but fans will hope the change in management and just a bit of tinkering with the playing squad can be enough to spark a major revival after a recent slump in fortunes.
