Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose would love Arsene Wenger to be England manager, telling the Evening Standard the Arsenal boss could "do wonders for the country."
Wenger is among the Football Association's candidates to permanently replace Sam Allardyce and the 66-year-old, who is out of contract at Arsenal at the end of the season, has said he is not ruling it out.
England and Spurs left-back Rose said he would "welcome whoever is being linked with the job" but feels the Frenchman would be an excellent choice.
"What he's done for Arsenal over the last 20 years has been brilliant," he said. "The football that Arsenal play is breathtaking to watch at times.
"If he was to ever become manager of England that could certainly do wonders for the country. It would be great to have a manager like him with all the experience he has got. I'd be all for that.
"I wouldn't find it strange. I'm a football fan more than anything. There are Arsenal players in the England camp -- it doesn't mean that I don't speak to them.
"My best friend in football is Danny Welbeck and he plays for Arsenal so just because Arsene Wenger has been manager of Arsenal, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. It's about having the best man for the job."
However, Rose also said that Gareth Southgate, who will take charge of England's next four matches, would also make a fine permanent manager after stepping up from the under-21s.
Rose has already been impressed by Southgate's management style and believes the 46-year-old's success at the Toulon Tournament in May should not be disregarded.
"That definitely is a big help to him in this job," he said. "He is the first coach to win the Toulon tournament for 22 years. I played in three Under-21 tournaments, got to the final of one of them and didn't come close in the other two.
"People may not think so, but they are massive tournaments and are not easy to win. For example, when I played, teams like Spain had players like Juan Mata and Bojan in the squad.
"For the manager to win that, it shows the qualities he's got and it can only bode well for the squad and us as a nation.
"He is English, played for England and he can relate to us, which is definitely important. I am looking forward to working with him.
"The main thing is that he's approachable. At the first meeting yesterday, Gareth told us that if you have any issues, any problems, if you don't agree with something in training, to pull him up on it, voice your opinion. I think that's a great quality to have."
