Arsenal keeper Szczesny: Wenger should forget about England

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny says Arsene Wenger shouldn't consider the England job.

Wenger is under consideration by the FA to succeed Roy Hodgson, who quit after England's dismal showing at Euro 2016, and while Szczesny believes the Frenchman would do “great things" for the national team, the Pole does not want him to leave Arsenal.

“I am sure he would be a great thing for England but my main interest is Arsenal and I hope it doesn't happen, for the sake of Arsenal not for the sake of England," he told the London Evening Standard.

“England had a disappointing Euro 2016 and changes will be made but, hopefully, that will not affect our club. I hope it is something that will not happen because he is doing a fantastic job at Arsenal and I'd love to see him stay."
