Ex-PSG, Newcastle, Tottenham winger Ginola wants FIFA presidency

David Ginola has reportedly thrown his hat in the ring to become the next president of FIFA.

The Sun posted on Twitter on Thursday night that the Frenchman wants to run for Sepp Blatter's position as head of the governing body of the world game.

Canal+ also suggested that the former Paris Saint-Germain, Newcastle United and Tottenham ace will officially announce his candidacy for Blatter's position on Friday.

If the 47-year old does go after the president's role, he will be up against current FIFA chief Blatter, fellow Frenchman Jerome Champagne and Jordan's Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein who is the Vice-President of FIFA for Asia.
