Tomas Rosicky: Arsene Wenger is a "legend"

Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky has hailed Arsene Wenger as a "legend" as the Gunners boss prepares for his 1,000th match in charge of the club.

Wenger, who joined the North London side in 1996, will reach the milestone when his team visit Chelsea this Saturday, and Rosicky talked up the "unique" achievement.

The Telegraph quotes him as saying: "It is absolutely unique.

"I don't think that anyone will repeat something like that again. He is a legend for this club."

The Gunners are currently third in the Premier League.
