Wenger issues warning

LONDON. — Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has warned there could be serious consequences for the English Premier League if Britain votes to leave the European Union in a June 23 referendum.

Currently, leading footballers from throughout the European Union can take part in the cash-rich English Premier League with minimal paperwork because of rules governing the free movement of labour between member states.

But should Britain leave the EU — the so-called Brexit — that may no longer be the case.

Veteran French boss Wenger, in charge of Premier League giants Arsenal since 1996, has been a pioneer for non-British managers in the top-flight of English football.

His time at Arsenal has seen several European stars playing for the north London club. — AFP.
