Former Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez believes that Pep Guardiola will next coach in the Premier League and that he is the "perfect" manager for Arsenal.

Guardiola is currently on a sabbatical after stepping down from his post at Camp Nou at the end of last season.

"I didn't yet have the chance to meet Pep in New York," Marquez told SER. "We have been in touch before, to help him move here.

"He will soon return to the game. I think he'll go to England. He'd be perfect for Arsenal."

Marquez joined the New York Red Bulls from Barcelona in 2010.
