Arsene Wenger has revealed he has been invited to George Weah's inauguration as president of Liberia at the end of January as he described his former player's life as worthy of a film script.
Weah, who played under Wenger at Monaco between 1988 and 1992, was announced his country's next president after winning 61.5 per cent of the vote in last month's election.
His inauguration takes place on January 22 - sandwiched between Arsenal's Premier League meeting with Crystal Palace on January 20 and the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final with Chelsea on January 24.
