Arsene Wenger Named Five Favourite Players Who Are Not Playing For Arsenal
Ex-Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has shared his top five favorite players outside of Arsenal, including Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
Arsene Wenger commended Salah’s longevity, noting his contribution of 22 goals and 14 assists in the Premier League, which has been instrumental in helping Liverpool take control of the title race.
Additionally, Salah has added three goals and four assists in the Champions League as the knockout phase approaches. He is currently a leading contender for the Ballon d’Or later this year.
During a quick Q&A session with Goal, Wenger was asked about the current stars of football. He mentioned, “Well, outside of Arsenal, I would say Salah, [Cole] Palmer, Vinicius [Junior], and [Kylian] Mbappe. My favorite player is someone like Salah because, despite his longevity, his career is still at the top. Then you have exciting talent like [Lamine] Yamal and Palmer.”
On another note, Manchester United legend Gary Neville expressed his concerns regarding the performance of Chelsea players Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkunku after Chelsea’s 3-0 defeat to Brighton on Friday night.
The match saw Chelsea unable to register a single shot on target over 90 minutes. Goals from Kaoru Mitoma and Yakunba Minteh (who scored twice) secured a second victory for Brighton over Chelsea in just five days.
