Wenger: I've got a high opinion of Luis Enrique

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he would be content to see Luis Enrique replace him in the Emirates dugout.

Last week, the Frenchman announced that he would depart the club in the summer after a reign lasting close to 22 years, despite having 12 months left on his deal.

The Spaniard, who won the 2014-15 Champions League with Barcelona, is currently favourite to replace him at the north London side.

While he once again stressed that he did not want to influence the board's hunt for a new boss after he steps down in the summer, he gave the thumbs up to the former Barca man.
