Burnley manager Sean Dyche does not anticipate Arsenal hiring a British boss as Arsene Wenger's successor if the Frenchman decides to leave this summer.
Former Gunners midfielder Paul Merson suggested at the weekend that Dyche should be a candidate to replace Wenger when discussing the work the 45-year-old had done in east Lancashire with the Clarets.
"Why not?" Merson had said in his role as a pundit on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday.
"He would go in and liven it up. He's a good coach. With the players he's got now he plays a certain way, if he was at Arsenal he wouldn't play that way.
