Arsenal hero Parlour: Klopp best man to succeed Wenger

Arsenal hero Ray Parlour feels Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp is the man to succeed Arsene Wenger.

Parlour believes recruiting the Borussia Dortmund manager would give the Emirates outfit a huge boost.

He told the Daily Star Sunday: "I'm sure Wenger will have a big say on whoever comes in to ­manage Arsenal if he retires or goes upstairs.

"It's going to be interesting to see what ­happens. But someone like Klopp, if you could get him, would be fantastic.

"I know Dortmund are having a poor season in the Bundesliga, but I like the way they play. The way they press is brilliant.

"And they gave Arsenal a lesson when they played in Germany in the Champions League and chalked up a convincing 2-0 win."
