The Newcastle manager is among those being mooted as possible successors to a long-serving Frenchman preparing to step aside at Emirates Stadium
Rafa Benitez would be a “perfect fit” for Arsenal if the Gunners turn to the Newcastle boss as successor to Arsene Wenger, says Ray Parlour.
Those at Emirates Stadium are having to piece together plans for 2018-19, with a first managerial change in 22 years about to be made.
Wenger is preparing to bring an iconic reign to a close, so attention has started to shift towards who might replace him – with several contenders reported to be in the running.
