Sarkozy to meet Wenger
French president Nicolas Sarkozy is to meet Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger at the club's London Colney training ground at the end of the month.
Sarkozy reportedly wishes to quiz his compatriot about football and "social cohesion".
Apparently Sarkozy, an amateur player in his youth, has noticed that Wenger has five Frenchmen, 11 French-speakers and 16 different nationalities in his Arsenal squad.
He believes that Wenger, who is from Alsace, can teach him lessons about integrating those from a variety of cultures and social backgrounds into a cohesive unit.
