GORDON Ramsay has revealed his plans to take over a well-known Michelin-starred restaurant that has been seen on MasterChef.

The Mayfair site was known for its French cuisine and for being the first restaurant to be awarded one, two and three stars.

Ever since its opening in 1967, Le Gavroche has been synonymous with the English-French chef Michel Roux Jr.

That was until the two star eatery closed its doors last month so the 63-year-old could “make time for a better work / life balance”.

The iconic restaurant has been known to help many celebrity chefs launch their careers including Marco Pierre White and Marcus Wareing.

It even served the late Queen on her 90th birthday.

Gordon Ramsay, who was a previous resident at the site for two years, has opted to step into the shoes of his former mentor’s son.

In the late nineties, Ramsay cooked under Albert Roux who opened the original restaurant with his brother Michel.

According to Westminster Council, Gordan Ramsay Restaurants is set to acquire Le Gavroche after a successful premise license transfer application.

It has reportedly been completed under his operating company, Union Street Café.

Silvano Giraldin, who oversaw the dining room at Gavroche for more than 30 years, has reportedly been listed as premises supervisor.

Chef patron Matt Abé could be set to be in charge of the kitchen, according to The Standard.

Whether Ramsay will look to change the title or head up the new project is still unconfirmed.

Yet, it would be no surprise for the celebrity restaurateur with eight existing Michelin stars who has recently gained a number of London ventures.

Adding to his portfolio in recent months, Ramsay has opened a cookery school, two restaurants and a bar at the City of London’s tallest building.

The host of 22 Bishopsgate has even ensured a chef’s table spin-off of Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, which has three-stars in Chelsea.

Michel Roux Jr has also been exploring new sites as he took on the Langham at Portland Place.

He previously described Le Gavroche to Restaurant Online: “Those were really tough and long days and weeks.

“I was doing 80-90 hours a week sometimes and I think ‘god, did I really go through all that?’ I can’t say I absolutely loved every moment but it’s something I would do again.

“I’m glad I came to a decision to close and move on. I can sit comfortably with that.”

The Sun has approached Gordon Ramsay Restaurants for comment.

Arsene Wenger has named Liverpool as ‘super favourites’ to lift the Premier League title at the end of the season, warning Arsenal need to be ‘perfect’ to stand any chance.

The Gunners have been rocked by injury in recent weeks with Kai Havertz ruled out for the rest of the season, joining Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli on the sidelines.

But Mikel Arteta’s side showed there is still fight in their title bid with a 2-0 win over Leicester City on Saturday with Mikel Merino filling the void up front, grabbing a late brace to seal the victory.

Arsenal will have the chance to reduce the gap themselves when they head to Anfield in May but until then, Liverpool’s fate is in their own hands.

Wenger, who guided Arsenal to three Premier League titles, is ‘praying’ for a slip up on Merseyside but admits it may already be too late for his old side.

‘It is simple, they [Liverpool] need to lose games,’ Wenger told beIN Sports.

‘But we are 25 games played, Liverpool have lost one. So they have to lose three at least in the next 13 games so at the moment it looks unlikely.

‘Unless they [Liverpool] collapse but until now they have lost just one game. So for now they are the super favourites.

‘And on top of that, Arsenal have to make a perfect run. So I pray but I have to improve the quality of my praying.’

Arsenal thrashed Manchester City 5-1 at the start of the month and while Pep Guardiola’s side thumped Newcastle United at the weekend, their title bid looks dead in the water.

A top four finish may be the best they can hope for with January signing Omar Marmoush hoping to have a key role to play in the season run-in.

The Egypt international scored a sublime hat-trick against Newcastle on Saturday with Wenger impressed with the fearless streak he sees in the forward.

‘What I like is Marmoush is mobile and he looks powerful in his runs,’ Wenger said.

‘He looks that in is mind he is not scared of anybody. I saw when he was at Frankfurt playing he had some special talent.

‘In the first two or three games with City he was disappointing but on Saturday you feel him comfortable.

‘Now I want to see if he lives together with [Erling] Haaland, it has to work well together.
