The former Arsenal boss - who now has a role at FIFA - believes the change will stop goals being disallowed for marginal decisions
Arsene Wenger, FIFA’s head of global development, is proposing a radical change of the offside rule that could be introduced in time for this summer’s European Championships.
The offside law has been put under greater scrutiny in recent months following the introduction of VAR technology, which has seen goals ruled out because a player is deemed to be millimetres offside.
The current law states that a player is offside if “any part of the head, body or feet” is beyond the last defender.
