Massimiliano Allegri would bring ‘something special’ to the Premier League if he takes over as Arsenal manager, according to Mario Lemina.

The Juventus head coach is among the favourites to succeed Arsene Wenger at the Emirates Stadium when the Frenchman steps down at the end of the season.

Lemina, who won the domestic double for two seasons running under Allegri at Juve, says his old boss could have the same kind of impact as Pep Guardiola at Manchester City or Antonio Conte at Chelsea.

‘He will give something special to the Premier League, like Pep Guardiola did, and Antonio Conte did as well,’ the Southampton midfielder told Sky Sports News.

‘Because he is Italian, he will give something special because he is more tactical. I think he would be very good for Arsenal if he goes.’
