Arsenal boss Wenger: James Rodriguez too big for Monaco

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger can't see James Rodriguez staying long-term with AS Monaco.

Wenger says the Colombian is "too big" for ASM.

He told BeinSport: "I believe that's true. Why? Because a player like that is difficult to keep at a club when you have Real Madrid and Barcelona looking around, and without a doubt there will be people who will be watching them play and thinking about buying him. Is this the year that he will move?

"Certainly not because he is with Monaco and they will play Champions League next season and they are a big club in France. But certainly in the next season or two he will want to move somewhere else."
