Hill-Wood: I dread Wenger leaving Arsenal

Former Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood admits the club face a huge challenge finding a successor for Arsene Wenger. Wenger takes charge of his 1,000th Gunners game Chelsea tomorrow.

Hill-Wood told the Daily Star: "It will be extremely difficult - I dread to think who is coming in.

"If we were to lose Arsene it would be a nightmare.

"There is nothing obvious. I am sure Arsene will have some input.

"He has an enormous amount of knowledge and has developed a lot of really excellent players, who, overall, weren't that distinguished when they came to us.

"Many of them became household names at Arsenal. Thierry Henry is a very good example, also Cesc Fabregas, Patrick Vieira and Robin van Persie."
