Pep Guardiola might join Arsenal in the summer with Arsene Wenger leaving the managerial seat, a ridiculous claim by former Manchester City player, now a BBC pundit Trevor Sinclair.
The Spaniard is parting away with Bayern Munich at the end of this season and has already been linked with EPL giants. Manchester City and Chelsea seems to be the front runners for his signature with City most likely Pep’s next stop.
However, according to former Manchester City player and current BBC pundit Trevor Sinclair, Pep Guardiola could join Arsenal snubbing other Premier League giants as the Gunners are reportedly interested to sign the Spansh tactician and give Arsene Wenger a role on the board in the next season.
“Not left my phone or a new story, but reliable source says Arsenal have been chasing Pep for years and Arsene could be moved upstairs this summer,” Sinclair claimed on his Twitter account.
Certainly a hilarious claim, but this is not the first time. The former midfielder had to face a lot of criticism for a controversial tweet put out last week, suggesting Manchester United had already sacked Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho was going to be announced their new manager. Sinclair later defended himself by claiming he had misplaced his phone; but the talkative Englishman insists this information on Wenger and Guardiola is genuine.
“They’ve been after Pep from when he had his sabbatical in NY,” Sinclair also said. “As we all know? ….. Not every favourite comes in. Don’t shoot the messenger.. Not just yet anyway. #pep2arsenal.”
Wenger deciding to resign, for a supposed role in the Arsenal board, is really hard to believe, while the possibility of if Guardiola to take over at Arsenal remains a debatable question, considering the Spanish manager has never been in charge of one club for more than a few years.
As good as Pep Guardiola is, the Arsenal hierarchy will have to decide who is the best option to manage Arsenal for the next decade following the footsteps of Wenger, or more, not just for the next couple of seasons.
