Swansea boss Bradley likens himself to Wenger

New Swansea City boss Bob Bradley has likened himself to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

Bradley makes his Premier League debut against the Gunners.

“This is the best league in the world and when someone comes in from the outside you want them to prove themselves," he said.

“They might have a great CV, but if they come in and their work doesn't show up in the right way people here will be quick to see it.

“If anybody wants to throw out an analogy of what it was like when Arsene came then I will take it as a compliment. I am not going to argue with it, people will feel I have something to prove.

“The situation may not be exactly the same but as a football man you can only have a huge respect for what he has done.

“I have met him once and appreciate he has had some kind things to say about me, I have seen him talk about his time in Japan and he has a sense of perspective."
