Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is considering standing against Gianni Infantino in Fifa's presidential election in March, BBC Sport reported. Wenger, 77, is giving the idea serious thought, though sources close to him say he has not decided and still see Infantino as favourite for a fourth and final term. Candidates must confirm by 18 November. Ramon Vega and Kozo Tashima have already announced they will stand. Infantino's position was damaged by a backlash against his abandoned plan to sell commercial stakes in the World Cup to private investors, but he keeps support in South America, Africa and Asia. Uefa, which has led opposition to him, would back Wenger, the BBC said, and some of his supporters would be happy for him to win and then step down early.
