David Ginola has stunned football by announcing his intention  to challenge Sepp Blatter for the FIFA presidency.
The former Tottenham and Newscastle midfielder, who is looking for support from a number of associations, will officially announce his leadership bid later today.
A spokeswoman said: "We will be looking for the full support of Uefa and five football associations."
Blatter, seeking a fifth term in office after being elected in 1998, is already slated to go against FIFA vice-president Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein and former diplomat Jerome Champagne.
