It’s official: Arsene Wenger is set to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.

The news was confirmed by the league’s official website itself, honouring the greatness of one of the best managers to not just grace the English top-flight but the beautiful game itself.

Bukayo Saka’s father is likely to be buzzing, as the Arsenal poster-child admitted that his old man ‘loves’ him.

More on Wenger in the Premier League Hall of Fame

The French legend is widely viewed as one of the greatest coaches to ever grace the league.

Not just due to the fact that the veteran managed to win three league titles during his time at the Gunners, including the famous ‘Invincibles’ season.

But Wenger is often credited for creating a cultural change to English football, in terms of prioritizing technical players over sheer physical specimens, whilst changing player diets and fitness regimes that raised the athletic standards to unprecedented levels.

But alongside Arsene Wenger, Manchester United icon Sir Alex Ferguson will also be one of the first two inductees into the Premier League Hall of Fame in 2023.

While opposition fans may even argue over whether the former is the second greatest manager to step foot in the league, in terms of his influence and longevity, not a single finger can be raised.

How did Wenger react to the news?

“I am very grateful to have been selected for the Premier League Hall of Fame. We always wanted to give something special to the fans and when you have players capable of remarkable things, the most important thing for me is the obligation of perfection”, Wenger initially said about being inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.

He continued, “I’d like to be known as someone who loved Arsenal, who respected the values of the club and left it in a position where it can grow and become even bigger.”

“To share this with Sir Alex is a great honour for me. It’s like two boxers, you fight like mad and go the distance together. At the end of the day, you have respect and it will be a great opportunity to meet with him, share a good bottle of wine and memories of our old battles.”
