Arsene Wenger Reveals Pep Guardiola Once Visited His House in Bid to Sign for Arsenal

Arsene Wenger has revealed that Pep Guardiola paid him a house visit during his playing days in a bid to become Arsenal's latest midfield star.

The veteran Gunners boss told beIn Sports' Youtube channel about the time that the now Manchester City manager rocked up at his home in London to discuss a possible move to the Premier League side.

Wenger and Guardiola will lock horns in the Carabao Cup semi-finals for the second leg encounter, with a place in the final of the cup tournament up for grabs.

And the Frenchman revealed that he could have ended up managing the ex-Barcelona player in the early 2000s before Guardiola hung up his playing boots to become a coach instead.
