Big Phil drops in on Gunners

Arsenal have invited Brazil’s World Cup-winning coach Luis Felipe Scolari to visit their state-of-the-art training headquarters in Hertfordshire where he is likely to take part in a cultural exchange of football ideas with the Gunners’ staff.

However reports that Scolari, popularly known as Big Phil, is set to join Arsene Wenger’s Premiership champions as a consultant may be premature.
