Everton line up sensational move for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
Everton are set to offer Arsene Wenger an immediate return to Premier League management if he is sacked by Arsenal.
Wenger’s Arsenal reign hit its lowest point as his side crashed to defeat at Brighton, the first time they have lost four games on the trot in 16 years. The ‘Wenger Out’ banners were out in force at the Amex Stadium while sections of Arsenal’s travelling fans chanted for the axe to fall.
But the under-fire boss is wanted by Everton owner Farhad Moshiri, who feels Wenger is the ideal candidate to revive the Merseyside club’s fortunes. Recently he talked about his long reign as Gunners boss was coming to an end,
Wenger replied: “I don’t want to talk about my future today. At the moment, my future is not my main worry.
“My worry is to get Arsenal winning football games. Then we’ll see where we go from there. I’ll try and give my best as long as I am here.”
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal’s board are ready to show Wenger the door, either before the end of the season or in the summer when his contract will still have one more year to run.
But Iranian billionaire Moshiri is already preparing for life without Sam Allardyce, who looks on borrowed time at Everton after they slumped to their sixth successive away defeat at Watford on Saturday.
And Wenger is top of Moshiri’s list for the rebuilding job at Goodison Park.
