Former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein claims Arsene Wenger will be an impossible act to follow at the Gunners.

The Frenchman has revolutionised the north London club, since his arrival in 1996, but has come in for criticism from some sections of the team’s fanbase for an apparent lack of ambition in recent seasons.

Wenger has won three Premier League titles and five FA Cups during his time with Arsenal and Dein, the man who took him to the club, insists the 64-year-old is unique.

“Arsene Wenger won’t be a difficult act to follow, he will be an impossible act to follow,” he told talkSPORT. “He’s just a one-off.

“He is a very special guy.”
