The proposed change by Arsene Wenger to the offside rule will see attackers having an advantage and not being ruled offside for their body parts being beyond the last defender.
Legendary football coach Arsene Wenger wants the offside rule to change in order to restore an advantage for the striker, which has been removed by the introduction of the video assistant referee (VAR).
Former Arsenal boss Wenger, who is also the head of global development at FIFA, said that if any part of an attacker’s body is in line with the last outfield defender, then it should be considered onside and not offside.
Currently, an attacker is flagged offside if any part of the body, apart from hands and arms, is ahead of the last defender.
