Arsene Wenger revealed that Pep Guardiola visited him at his house during his playing career because he had interest in joining Arsenal.

Arsenal will meet Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday at Wembley.

"I talked to him a few times, and once he came to my house when he was a player because he wanted to play for Arsenal," Wenger said.

Guardiola retired as a player in 2006 and took over as manager of Barcelona in 2008.

Another one on the list, Pep could have been groomed by Wenger as the next Arsenal manager.

One of these days he's going to tell us how he tried to sign Pele just before he went to Santos.

I don’t get why he sees it as a positive thing. At the end of the day, all these players never joined. That’s hardly a ringing endorsement.

Its' just one of his quirks. Also infuriates the fanbase further, he's quite a subtle troll, come to think of it.

"I heard Jesus saves and also he's good at dealing with crosses, so I nearly signed him as a goalie back in the day" - Wenger

This is more or less a meme now, even Wenger is probably pissing himself laughing.

I’m still waiting for Wenger to come out and share how he tried to sign me back in the day. I mean he’s listed everyone else, I must be next.

Wenger's boring now. He's become self aware of the Wenger parody and wheel's stuff like this out to distract from people talking about how badly Arsenal are doing or his contract.
