Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has hailed Arsene Wenger as a huge influence throughout the sport.

Wenger was inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame, along with legendary former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

Recognized for the Premier League titles they won between them and their intense rivalry in the 1990s and 2000s, the league paid tribute to two of its most successful ever coaches.

“He opened the Premier League to the world in a different level to what any other manager has done," Arteta said to reporters this week.

“I think he's going to be forever (remembered). I don't think there is any other managers that has had more impact.

“Some have brought different ideas, characters, competitions but he had a vision that was much wider than any other manager had at time.

“England and the Premier League has to be very grateful forever to this man."
