Former England midfielder, Paul Merson, has claimed that set plays are the secret weapon that Arsenal must use against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final.

The Gunners are hoping to lift their first European title in Budapest on Saturday.

Speaking on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, Merson said their advantage against the Ligue 1 champions will be their physicality.

According to him, PSG will struggle to defend corners and free-kicks.

“I think they’ve got a chance, especially with the way they do set-plays,” Merson said.

“Anytime they get a set-piece will be like a penalty because PSG are a small team, they’re a good team but they’re a small team.

“I think PSG will struggle with that. You’re talking about one of the best forward lines against one of the best defences.”

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Ibrahim Wala, has alleged that the party’s presidential primary election was marred by intimidation, vote buying and other irregularities.

DAILY POST reports that Wala, a loyalist to one of the top ADC presidential aspirants, Rotimi Amaechi, monitored the exercise in Gombe State.

Amaechi had on Tuesday, rejected the results of the polls, saying that the process lacked transparency and fairness as earlier promised by the opposition party.

Backing Amaechi’s claim, Wala, in a post on his official Facebook page, Wednesday described the process as “brazen, shameless auction that betrayed every value the ADC promised to uphold.”

Comrade Wala alleged that voters were intimidated and disenfranchised, stressing that the outcome of the election was determined in a hotel room.

The ADC chieftain called on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who is currently leading, to immediately dissociate himself from what he described as “dirty, concocted primary election results.”

He claimed to have “undisputed evidence of irregularities and voter disenfranchisement” that unfolded under his watch in Gombe State.

“I was personally approached by an agent offering to take me to the committee leadership’s hotel room to secure whatever I needed.

“This hotel room was treated exactly like a clandestine situation room where the state party leadership retired after their field day to finish their manipulative work behind closed doors”, he alleged.
