Nigerian Football Legend Augustine Jay Jay Okocha who is the current chairman of the Delta State Football Association, played against Arsenal during his time with English Premiership club, Bolton Wanderers and Wenger has revealed that Jay Jay Okocha was a delight to watch.
According to Sporting Life newspaper, Arsene Wenger, football manager and former player who has been the manager of Arsenal since 1996, where he has since become the club’s longest-serving manager and most successful in terms of major titles won, ran into Jay Jay Okocha at the Arsenal training ground and screamed, “oh my God Jay Jay what are you doing here? are you here to sign a contract with me?”
Wenger later told the newspaper that; “Jay Jay remains a. He was a delight to watch and a dream player of any coach. I wanted him then, but the situation was not conducive at that time.”
Last month Wenger vowed to work with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to help with football advancement in the country and many sport lovers have welcomed the development.
