Koeman has overtaken Xavi and Mauricio Pochettino as favourite to replace sacked Barca chief Quique Setien.

Wenger admits he still craves another hands-on role, having departed Arsenal in 2018 after a legendary reign of 22 years.

He recently said: “Every day I want to train, I’ve been doing this all my life.

“I’m 70 years old, I gave a lot. Should I play Russian roulette a bit, even when it comes to my health?

“I can’t do things by halves, so I ask myself this question.”
