Arsene Wenger: 'Pep Guardiola will succeed in Premier League'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes that Pep Guardiola will be a success at Chelsea.

The Blues will reportedly offer the former Barcelona coach £80m to take charge of the team next summer.

"Is £80m too much for Chelsea? I don't know even for them, but I do see Pep working in this league," the Daily Star quotes Wenger as saying.

"He started with caviar at Barcelona, having all those world-class players to choose from. Will he get caviar again at Chelsea? Yes, I think he will.

"Like at Barcelona, he would have good players already there at Chelsea in his squad. Pep is a great manager, but at the moment Rafael Benitez is a great manager."

Guardiola has already said that he will return to football management for next season after a one-year sabbatical.
