Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman says that Arsene Wenger would be a "great" choice to be Chelsea's next manager.

Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman has claimed that Arsene Wenger would be a "great" choice to be Chelsea's next manager, should the Blues relieve Maurizio Sarri of his duties.

Sarri only took charge of Chelsea last summer, but the Italian's future at Stamford Bridge is far from secure following a poor run of results.

Wenger left Arsenal at the end of last season having failed to guide the Gunners into the top four in the Premier League.

The Frenchman is now looking for his next job, though, and according to Seaman, Chelsea should attempt to entice the 69-year-old to West London.

"Arsene always said he wouldn't come back to the Premier League because of his love for Arsenal, that he wouldn't feel right competing against Arsenal," Seaman told talkSPORT.

"But, obviously, time's a healer and he could think, 'I want to go back there and prove a few people wrong'.
"For me, Arsene got a lot of criticism that wasn't deserved over his last few years at Arsenal.

"It looks like there could be a vacancy at Chelsea quite soon, depending on their next three games, which are three big games for Chelsea. He'd be great there, I think. He'd be great anywhere, he's a fantastic manager. I would love to see him back, but I don't think it would happen."

Chelsea have lost two of their last three matches to Manchester City and Manchester United, in the Premier League and FA Cup respectively.
