Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams has claimed that he should have been appointed the club's new chairman instead of Sir Chips Keswick.

Keswick recently replaced Peter Hill-Wood at the Emirates Stadium.

"Chips is a great guy but not a very imaginative choice by the owner - and he is 73," he told The Sun.

"If they just wanted a figurehead, they should have gone for me. It would have been a better visionary decision than Chips."

Adams played over 650 games for Arsenal before retiring in 2002.
