Arsenal star Emmanuel Petit, is convinced that outgoing Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will take up a high profile job at Paris Saint Germain when Unai Emery quits at the end of the season.
Petit thinks Wenger could head to PSG not in a managerial capacity, but as a go between for incoming coach Thomas Tuchel and owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Speaking to Daily Mirror about Wenger, Petit said: “We all know what we feel about Arsene. I always keep that,"

“I sent him a text on the day it was announced he was leaving, he sent me a text back.
“I told him it was a wise decision to leave the club, I said it was about time.
“I can see him managing a whole club, not a director. Paris Saint-Germain are very interested in him, they need a profile like Arsene Wenger.
“I can see him coming back at a big club. He's a very honest guy, a very straight guy and I feel he can bring a lot to football again.
“I think PSG are very interested in him — not as a manager on the pitch but the go-between with Tuchel and the president.
“When you look at the players' behaviour at PSG in the past few years, they need a strong person, with credibility who can be respected by the dressing room.

“It's hard to see him somewhere different, it's hard to see him managing another club."
NAIJ.com previously reported that Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly not interested in becoming the next Italian national team manager as the coach is said to have turned down the offers from the country’s FA.
The 58-year-old alongside Chelsea current boss Antonio Conte, and a couple other managers were shortlisted in a bid to find replacement for Gian Piero Ventura who was sacked last November for failing to qualify the Azzurri for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia this summer.
