EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal want Everton boss Roberto Martinez to take over from Arsene Wenger
ROBERTO MARTINEZ has emerged as the leading candidate to succeed Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
The Spaniard’s work at Everton this season has seen the former Swansea and Wigan manager’s stock rise even higher.
Martinez has impressed Wenger and the rest of the Gunners’ hierarchy with the style of play he demands – a cultured passing game – and by the way the 40-year-old handles himself.
He was appointed on a four-year contract at Everton in the summer after David Moyes’ exit to Manchester United.
Wenger spoke earlier this season of his respect for the work Martinez has done at Everton, who are seventh in the table, equal on points with United.
“Martinez has done remarkably well,” the Frenchman said.
