“Kan U believe it. Kanu wrote. Congratulations Arsene Wenger on your Premier League Hall of Fame induction.

 

Wenger and Ferguson are the first two managers to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame. The former Arsenal boss won three Premier League titles in his 22-year stay at the Emirates.
