It’s a fine balancing act, believes Wenger

PREMIER LEAGUE:

England manager Roy Hodgson this week bemoaned the lack of home-grown talent he can actually watch when attending games, echoing the thoughts of assistant coach Gary Neville, who argued the “pathway is blocked” for up-and-coming domestic players by too many foreign imports.

While just under 35 per cent of the players in the top flight are eligible for the England national team compared to almost 60 per cent in Spain, Wenger believes the tide is turning.
