David Ginola offers to replace FIFA president Sepp Blatter amid the recent corruption scandal.

Former France international David Ginola has admitted that he would step in as a replacement for FIFA president Sepp Blatter if he is removed due to the ongoing corruption scandal.

Seven football officials were arrested by Swiss police in Zurich during an early-morning raid on Wednesday at the five-star Baur au Lac hotel.

Overall, 14 people have been indicted by the US authorities on allegations of bribery, corruption and racketeering.

Swiss authorities revealed yesterday that the allegations relate to receiving or paying bribes of around £65m from the 1990s to the present day.

As pressure continues to mount on Blatter, who has been expected to be re-elected as president for a fifth term on Friday, Ginola has opted to put his name forward as a potential replacement.

"I will, because it's not a joke and I think we need to see more former players being involved in good faith," the Daily Star quotes Ginola as saying.

"To spread a nice and good message to restore confidence among the fans around the world, because the fans are the most important thing."

Ginola's campaign to challenge Blatter for the FIFA presidency in January was unsuccessful as he did not gain enough support to launch a campaign.
