Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has
confirmed that the Premier League club has
offered him a new two-year deal to continue at
the club.
The Frenchman’s current contract expires at the
end of the year and he has always insisted he
will only consider his future then.
On Saturday, Wenger saw his team lose 3-1 to
Chelsea, a result that leaves them 12 points
behind the league leaders, with little chance of
winning the title for the first time since 2004.

Wenger says his decision on whether or not he
will sign the new deal, will be based on “gut
feeling”.
My future has always been certain, I focus 100
per cent until the last day of my contract,” he
told the Independent.
“That is the only way you can guarantee the
future. We worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow is
not in the summer. It is tomorrow. It is not all
quantifiable. It is linked with your gut feeling as
well.”

Former Arsenal defender, Martin Keown, claims
Wenger will sign a new deal with the club, as
the board don’t have any alternatives.
“That might be a tricky one but if you look at it
I think Arsene Wenger will decide when he
leaves the club,” Keown said.
“I believe he manages up and down within the
club. They are going to want a run-up to a
succession plan for a new manager and that
will mean Arsene Wenger signing a new deal.

“I’m not sure if that sits completely well with
the fans. But if you look at other situations,
Manchester United losing Sir Alex Ferguson
shows what can happen.
“I believe he will sign a new contract. It’s just
really the announcement and when is the right
time to make that announcement.
“He needs to continue to do well enough to
stay in the job. If he gets in the Champions
League once more and maybe wins a cup.”
