Charlie Nicholas says Brendan Rodgers should be on the shortlist when Arsenal look to replace Arsene Wenger.
The Sky Sports pundit believes that the Celtic and former Liverpool man would be a good fit for the Gunners as current manager Arsene Wenger finds himself under pressure.
Nicholas feels that Rodgers “plays the Arsenal way” – a style Nicholas says he played during his time with Liverpool.
“He’s building his stock back up. He went to win things at Celtic and he’s got two trophies in the cabinet already, potentially a third is staring him in the face with the Old Firm derby coming up
“It’s been interesting because Celtic have won the title without really working hard for it. He’s impressed. He’s got good energy.
“Scott Sinclair was struggling in England and he’s made him grow again. Moussa Dembele for £500,000 was good value for money but it’s the progress of young talent, players like Stuart Armstrong, who for me is the player of the year in Scotland this season.
“He’s the most improved player I’ve seen and it’s been such a quick turnaround under Rodgers.
“Compliments to the players but Brendan has been absolutely fabulous. He’s been different class.
“He’s on a decent salary and he’s deserved it and merited it, but absolutely, if Arsenal are looking at a list of names to replace Arsene, Rodgers would be on it.
“He plays the Arsenal way. He played the same style at Liverpool and he probably should have won the league. Everything is there for me to say absolutely.”
Arsenal fans, would you take Brendan Rodgers as Wengers replacement?
