Wenger: England still the strongest

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes that the Premier League remains the strongest in Europe, despite English clubs struggling to progress in the Champions League.

English champions Manchester City crashed out of the competition at the group stage earlier this week, while current European champions Chelsea are facing an early exit, leaving the Gunners and Manchester United to fly the flag.

Arsenal are 25/1 to win the competition for their first time in their history, while United are 10/1 to be crowned European champions for a fourth time.

Wenger remains adamant that England is still the place to be, but accepts that other countries are closing the gap all the time.

He said: "I would still say England is the strongest, because in England if they want a player, they still get him. As long as that happens you will be the most powerful in Europe.

"Maybe we have less room, less margin than we had before when it was just a question of when we would qualify.

"Now German football has come up, Spanish football is there every year and some French clubs have come back like Paris Saint-Germain.

"I don't think we are getting worse. Manchester City has gone out, but you can objectively say they were in a difficult group and they are still a good side as they are top of the Premier League."
