Wenger: England among Euro 2016 favourites

Arsene Wenger has picked England as one of the favourites to take out Euro 2016 in France.

The Arsenal manager was suitably impressed by England in their performances against Germany, a 3-2 win, and Netherlands, a 2-1 loss, to put Roy Hodgson s side among the favourites for the tournament.

Wenger said he missed the loss to Netherlands but watched the win over Germany and liked what he saw from England.

I was impressed and I made them [among the] favourites straight away, the Frenchman said.

I had been a bit cautious as I thought the super favourites were Germany, France and Spain with England behind, but now they are up there on the list.

I didn t see the second game against Holland, I saw the France game [against Russia].

Wenger ranke…
