Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is seeking to re-write the offside law in a bid to bring an end to the controversial borderline decision by VAR that has brought dismay among football fans.
Goals are being disallowed for magical calls, with a player ruled offside if any part of the body which can be used to score strays beyond the defender.
The French National believes that attacking players should be deemed onside if any part of their body is in line with the last opponent.
“I believe it is time to do this very quickly. There is room to change the rule a little bit and not say that a part of a player’s nose is offside, so you are offside because you can score with that. Instead, you will not be offside if any part of the body that can score is in line with the last defender- even if other parts of the attacker’s body are in front.”
Wenger took up a position as FIFA’S chief of global football in November. Part of his role includes working on the International Football Association Board, the body that governs the laws of the game
