Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger linked with Chinese giants Guangzhou Evergrande

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is being linked with Chinese giants Guangzhou Evergrande.

The Sun says he weighing up an offer from Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande, who are ready to hand the Frenchman a two-year deal worth £7.6million.

The former Arsenal boss has spent some time away from football after ending his 22-year reign with the Gunners in May — but is now eyeing a 2019 revival.

And Wenger revealed: “I believe that (I will) start again on January 1. I don't know where yet. I feel rested and am ready to work again.

“From my 22 years at Arsenal, I have big experience on different levels. There are enquiries from all over the world."

Wenger had a one-year spell in Asia with Nagoya Grampus Eight in 1995 before heading to Arsenal — and could be swayed to manage on the continent again to tackle the Chinese Super League.
