‘…I have always admired their philosophy and how they play the game. I also admire them as a club because I think they are very well run and stable.
“There is a lot to admire about Arsenal…’
The Daily Star have now reported that the feeling towards Howe is mutual and he could be set to be a target to replace Wenger.
The newspaper stated…
‘Arsenal have earmarked Eddie Howe as a potential successor to Arsene Wenger.
The report added…
‘Howe`s attractive brand of football and adventurous approach is being seen as a perfect fit in the corridors of power at the Emirates Stadium, with Wenger also a fan of his.
