 Wenger joins Pele as a supporter of England's bid
|
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes England deserves to host the World Cup in 2018 and says he would become an ambassador for the bid if asked.
The Gunners' 60,000-seat Emirates Stadium is one of four London venues put forward to stage games.
Wenger said: "I am big supporter of the bid. If I can help I would be happy.
"It is not normal that the country which created the sport has not had the World Cup since 1966. This country deserves the World Cup."
England's bid has been rocked this week with Premier League chairman Sir Dave Richards resigning from the team while Karen Brady, who was one of six board members to stand down earlier this month, said there had been "bickering, infighting and disruption".
Brady, who joined the bid board in October, stood down - along with the likes of Manchester United chief executive David Gill - as part of a "streamlining" process.
Their departure coincided with the appointment of Richards.

Wenger added: "I do not understand a lot of stories that the campaign is not run in a good way.
"I don't know how you can say it is run good or bad.
"If you have the infrastructure, the stadiums, the passion, the power to organise, I don't understand a lot of all the rest.
"But if I can help, I would be happy to do it."
