Arsenal Told To Sign Chris Wilder Over Nuno Santo

Former England international, Peter Crouch thinks Chris Wilder is the righful choice to take over as manager of Arsenal.

Unai Emery was sacked on Friday and the Gunners are currently on the lookout for replacements.

Crouch thinks the Sheffield United boss would be a much better fit at North London, given how he has taken the Premier League by storm this season.

Writing in his column for the Daily Mail, Crouch said, “Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo is favourite to replace Emery but what about Chris Wilder? People will turn their noses up at that suggestion and I expect Arsenal will think they are better than appointing a manager from Sheffield United.

“They should think again, because Arsenal are behind them in the table. I’ve watched Sheffield United consistently for 18 months and the way they play is fantastic. It is fearless, it is inventive and expansive and Wilder has done an exceptional job. They are aggressive but they are attractive — qualities you used to associate with Arsenal.

“You could be sure, too, that Wilder wouldn’t tolerate any of the nonsense that has gone on over the past few years from certain players.

“But will Arsenal give him a chance Arsenal told to hire Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder as Unai Emery replacement? I think, sadly, you and I know the answer. For now, they muddle on. Nobody is certain where Arsenal will end up.”
