Wenger: West Ham must be patient for London Stadium to feel like home

LONDON -- Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says West Ham will need a couple of years to get settled into the London Stadium to "build a little history."

Arsenal will make their first visit to the former Olympic Stadium on Saturday, where fans have criticised the atmosphere since West Ham's move away from Upton Park and the ground has also been beset by crowd control issues.

The Gunners were in a similar situation after leaving Highbury for the Emirates Stadium in 2006, and Wenger said both players and fans have to get used to a stadium before it feels like home.
