Derek McInnes believes Arsenal will consider the Celtic manager as a replacement for Arsene Wenger.
Brendan Rodgers would be the perfect replacement for Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, according to Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes
Wenger is to leave the Gunners at the end of the season, ending a 22-year reign in charge of the English Premier League side.
McInnes believes Rogers, who is on the brink of leading Celtic to successive treble-winning campaigns, is a serious contender to take over from the Frenchman.
He said: “It would be no surprise if Brendan is mentioned for the Arsenal job.
“He would be more than capable of taking that club on.
“I am sure he will be one of the names mentioned and it just illustrates the good work that has been done.
“I think people recognise the work he has done at Celtic and the clubs before that.
“He is working for a huge club at the minute and has done good work at Liverpool and Swansea in the past.
“If Arsenal did decide he was the one they wanted them I am sure Brendan would be a brilliant fit for them.
“At the same time, he has spoken about how happy and settled he is at Celtic and I am sure whenever he does leave Celtic it will be a big decision and a huge wrench for him.”
