Gianni Infantino looks likely to be re-elected unopposed next year, despite the backlash over his failed plan to sell World Cup stakes to private investors. Senior European football figures told BBC Sport they want Wenger, Fifa's head of global development since 2019, to stand, though Fifa gave no comment. His deadline for declaring is 18 November, and he requires the support of five national associations.
