Danny Murphy has told talkSPORT Rafael Benitez is ‘exactly’ the type of manager Arsenal need, after the Spaniard was touted as a potential successor to Arsene Wenger at the Emirates Stadium.
Newcastle United boss Benitez was linked with the Gunners job after he masterminded the Magpies’ 2-1 win over Wenger’s side at St James’ Park on Sunday.
The result - which leaves Arsenal 13 points adrift of the top four - only heaped more pressure on Wenger, who has one year remaining on his contract although there is expected to be a review of his position in the summer.
