Arsenal
Arsene Wenger will always be the man who decides his fate at Arsenal. The Frenchman still has two years left on his current three-year contract and his side finally look like they are once again ready to challenge for top honours consistently.
Wenger looks hungry again, his side look competitive and Klopp comes hot off a season where his side have imploded and fundamentally failed to challenge – it just doesn’t fit.
Whilst there’s no doubting the German will be a managerial great and he has some career ahead of him at just 47 years of age, Wenger surely deserves more respect than suggesting he might make way for a man who has a lot more to prove in terms of consistency and handling adversity.
Klopp has looked the almost natural successor to the Gunners boss for several seasons now but the timing of this announcement from BVB and his exit from Dortmund mean it’s likely not the right time for both parties and could scupper any potential agreement if he ends up going elsewhere.
