ARSENE WENGER has offered to succeed Barcelona-bound Ronald Koeman as Holland boss.
That’s according to Fox Sports after Koeman overtook Xavi and Mauricio Pochettino as favourite to replace sacked Barca chief Quique Setien.
Wenger admits he still craves another hands-on role, having departed Arsenal in 2018 after a legendary reign of 22 years.
He told Europe 1 : “Every day I want to train, I’ve been doing this all my life.
“I’m 70 years old, I gave a lot. Should I play Russian roulette a bit, even when it comes to my health?

“I can’t do things by halves, so I ask myself this question.”
The first step would be former Ajax, Southampton and Everton chief Koeman moving to the Nou Camp, where he shone as a player from 1989-1995.
His Holland side were expected to be a force at the delayed Euros next summer after two years of progress unde the 57-year-old.
But he is expected to be offered and accept the rebuilding job at Barcelona that was amplified by an 8-2 Champions League quarter-final mauling against Bayern Munich that cost Setien his job.
Meawnhile, Manchester City are rated favourites to sign Lionel Messi if, as reported, he has asked to leave Barca.
Inter Milan and PSG would also be considered contenders for one-club legend Messi, 33, commonly regarded as the greatest player ever.
