Rafa Benitez should not take over as Arsenal manager once Arsene Wenger leaves the club according to former Gunners midfielder Paul Merson.
The Spaniard masterminded a 2-1 win for Newcastle United over the north London outfit on Sunday to leave the Toon all but confirmed for another season in the Premier League.
By contrast Arsenal's latest defeat on the road, which leaves them a distant sixth in the table, has led to calls from supporters for Wenger to depart in the summer and to replace him with Benitez.
