Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has described Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger as an 'analogue manager in a digital age'.

The French manager has attracted widespread criticism following the recent failings of his side and Collymore thinks that he is out of his depth in modern football.

"If Arsene Wenger does stay on at Arsenal it could be massively damaging for the club," Collymore wrote for the Daily Mirror.

"One big problem could be the managers they miss out on by not making a change now.

"There are a lot of managers that would walk to Arsenal. For the next man, it is all laid there in front of him.

"The club is in a world-famous city, attracts 60,000 fans to matches, is a huge revenue generator, has lots of cash in the bank and a fine domestic history.

"But if you are the likes of Diego Simeone, Thomas Tuchel , Jorge Sampaoli, Max Allegri you would think 'if Wenger is going to stay for another two or three years, in that time the Bayern Munich job might come up. Or the jobs at Chelsea, Liverpool or perhaps even Manchester United.'

"All clubs with much better pedigree than Arsenal domestically and in Europe.

"Surely Arsenal's owner Stan Kroenke can see that not only are there managers out there like Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte, Sampaoli, Allegri, Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola who are winning trophies but they are also younger and fresher.

"Wenger is now an analogue manager in a digital age."
