Arsenal legend Bergkamp: Wenger a players' manager

Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp says Arsene Wenger was a genuine players' manager.

He insists he is not pitching for Unai Emery's job – but does feel like he has something to offer his former employers.

He said: “I enjoyed my football in London from day one. I loved the English culture and the climax for me was when we won the double.

“Driving through the packed streets of London, seeing all those fans.

“But the more time has gone by, the clearer it is to me how special that period was. Arsenal haven't won the Premier League title since 2004.

“The great thing about Arsene was that it was never about him. It was all about the players."
