In the event that Arsene Wenger had Harry Redknapp's strategic nous then Arsenal would win the Premier League, as indicated by Paul Merson.

The Sky Sports savant, who played under the two men amid individual spells at Arsenal and Portsmouth, says he rates Redknapp higher than Wenger with regards to strategies.

"Strategically, he's outstanding among other I've worked with. On the off chance that Arsene Wenger had Harry Redknapp's strategic nous, Arsenal would win the alliance."

Redknapp was sacked by Birmingham City a month ago as the group battled at the wrong end of the Championship table.

In spite of his current battles in the last place anyone would want to be, Merson trusts the previous Tottenham, QPR and Portsmouth supervisor can be hailed as a record-breaking extraordinary.

At the point when asked, what his best accomplishment as a player seemed to be, Merson answered: "Winning the class at Portsmouth. We were 33/1 rank outcasts to win the alliance that year.

"We won our first diversion at home and I thought we'd be okay and after that went to Crystal Palace. We were 2-0 down at half-time and it could've been 10-0. I thought 'what have I done coming here - this will be humiliating.'

"Harry came in at half-time and took three men off, put three at the back, five in midfield with three moving aggressors and we won 3-2.

"That is the point at which I knew he was an incredible chief."
