'I can't stop working!' - Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger opens up on Premier League job offers

Arsene Wenger has discussed a potential return to football, saying that he's turned down opportunities to return to the Premier League.

The Frenchman has remained patient as he waits for the right opportunity to return to the game.

Wenger spent 22 years as manager of the Gunners before moving on in 2018 when he was replaced with Unai Emery.

But speaking to Sky Sports News, he has discussed how he could have been returning to the Emirates Stadium in the away dressing room.

He said: "I'm an Arsenal man and after that I'm a professional. I can't stop working.

"I decided to move out of the Premier League because I am too linked with Arsenal. I had opportunities to work in England but I turned them down.

"I don't want to tell you [which clubs] because there are people in charge and it would unfair to them."

He added: "The hunger is there.

"The hunger to play football, win games, I play charity games still. The hunger is completely there, I don't think you lose the desire to win and that bitterness when you lose a football game.

"It's more down to the physical potential, to be healthy and I'm lucky on that front until now."
