Legendary Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said he would return to the club ‘if needed’.

Mikel Arteta remains under pressure at the Emirates after a poor start to the Premier League season which leaves the Gunners 13th in the Premier League table after 16 league games.

They ended a run of seven league matches without three points against Chelsea on Boxing Day and then followed that up with a 1-0 against Brighton & Hove Albion to offer Arteta some respite.

With Arsenal sat in 13th place under former player Arteta, Wenger was asked whether he would return to Arsenal to save the day.

Wenger told NBC Sports: “If I’m needed, I will help them, but I don’t expect that, no.”

The Frenchman lead Arsenal to three Premier League titles, seven FA Cups, and seven community shields.
