Arsene Wenger has given Arsenal’s hierarchy his word
that he will sign a new contract.
There has been mounting speculation about Wenger’s
future because of his failure to pen a deal, which has
been on offer since the end of last year.
Wenger told the board that he had given his word and
insisted: “I never go back on it.”
He also has the total support of American millionaire
Stan Kroenke, the biggest shareholder at the Emirates.
The delay in sealing his new deal has been noted at
Paris Saint-Germain and their Qatari owners know
Wenger well.
They used him as an adviser when they took over and
were very impressed with him. If Wenger doesn’t renew
his Arsenal contract, PSG look certain to move in.
Current coach Laurent Blanc’s contract expires this
summer and he is unpopular with several senior
players.
Wenger has turned down the chance to leave Arsenal in
the past and the Gunners remain confident Wenger will
extend his stay.
