Wenger considers challenging Infantino in FIFA presidential election

Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, could stand against Gianni Infantino in the next FIFA presidential election.

According to Sky Sports, Wenger is expected to make a final decision this week.

The 77-year-old is being heavily lobbied by key stakeholders, including UEFA, ahead of the November 18 deadline.

Since November 2019, Wenger has worked as FIFA's chief of global football development.

But Wenger is being urged to put himself forward for the top position.

European governing body chiefs have reportedly lost faith in Infantino following recent controversies surrounding FIFA's commercial proposals.
