Wenger names African players who made biggest impact on his career

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that African players have had a massive impact on his managerial career over the past 20 years.

Wenger was speaking this morning at his pre-match press conference where he was honoured by his club for his two decades of service.

Wenger said he found African players passionate, creative, powerful and possessing the agility that’s very difficult to find in the game.

He singled out Nigeria’s Nwako Kanu, Ivory Coast’s Kolo Toure and Liberian George Weah, whom he managed at Monaco in France, as the three who have had the greatest impact on him.
