Arsene Wenger 's proposed change to the offside law looks to be closer than ever following new backing from FIFA .

With so much controversy, there have been talks to make a huge change to the way offside is determined, with former: “There is room to change the rule 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 be not offside if any part of the body that can score a goal is in line with the last defender, even if other parts of the attacker’s body are in front.

David Dein, the former Arsenal and FA vice-chairman backed Wenger's proposal at the FIFA Congress in Bangkok last week. While Wenger's master plan looks to finally be gaining a bit of traction, it is understood that the new head of Uefa’s Football Board, Luis Figo, still has some reservations over such a drastic change.also reports that it is likely the rule will be trialled in competitions that use VAR, to get the best possible gauge of how it would perform at the highest level.
