That is the view of Sky Sports pundit and former defender Danny Higginbotham.
Wenger has been shortlisted for the award alongside Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola and the boss of north London rivals Tottenham, Mauricio Pochettino.
City and United are level on points at the top of the table, with Spurs below them in third.
Arsenal won two of their three league games in September, drawing the other away to Chelsea.
Higginbotham has been impressed by the turnaround of the Gunners since the 4-0 loss to Liverpool in August.
