Arsene Wenger return to Arsenal backed by Emile Heskey as Mikel Arteta admits he’d ‘like’ legendary coach at Emirates
Oct 16, 2020
Emile Heskey believes Mikel Arteta’s idea to have Arsene Wenger return to Arsenal is a good one.
The legendary manager publicly revealed he is yet to watch the Gunners in action since his 22-year reign came to an end in May 2018.
Earlier this week, current Arsenal boss Arteta admitted he would love to have Wenger in and around the club again.
He said: “I would like to see him back around us.
“He was a massive figure for me and he’s someone that I can still learn a lot of things from and I would like to have him closer to us.
“Obviously the actual environment at the moment doesn’t allow us to do it, but I think he’s a figure that has to be very present in what we do at the football club because he is, in my opinion, the one who had the vision and helped this club to evolve and be what it is today.”
Wenger won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups during his time in north London.
Former Liverpool and England striker Heskey has praised Arteta for wanting to have the Frenchman back at Arsenal.
He told talkSPORT : “It’s showing me that a manager or coach isn’t insecure and he’s not worried about his job. He wants the best from his role within the club.
“So you bring the best people around.
“With all due respect, Arsene Wenger might have stayed one or two years too long, but what he created at Arsenal was phenomenal.
