Former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein has backed Russian Alisher Usmanov to help bring the glory days back to the Gunners. Usmanov has been mounting a takeover bid for the club for some time, but there is now a lock down agreement in place.

  • Chelsea midfielder looking forward to London derby vs Spurs
  • Arsenal in the front row to sign Dutch striker

  • "Luckily, they have [manager] Arsene [Wenger] but you have to give the man a chance," Dein said.



    "I don't want to see Arsenal as the second or even third team in London.



    "I can see the way the game is going. The wealthier are going to get wealthier and more successful. It is getting polarised."



    Of Usmanov, he added: "He would change the whole dynamic of the club. At Arsenal, something has to break."
