The clock is ticking towards the most significant FIFA election in decades, where Gianni Infantino puts his future on the line at the summit of world football.

According to 'L'Equipe', Wenger has decided against launching a bid after weighing up his options. FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development will not mount a challenge against his current boss.

To date, three candidates have confirmed their intention to stand in the race. Infantino remains the red-hot favourite, with Ramon Vega and Kozo Tashima preparing to battle to unseat the incumbent president.
