Wenger to extend contract

LONDON.— Arsene Wenger is ready to end doubts over his future and commit to English Premiership soccer side Arsenal beyond this summer by signing a new deal at the Emirates Stadium.The Frenchman has been at the club for 17 years, and with the Gunners’ trophy drought now into its ninth season there has been talk of him stepping aside, especially with his contract due to expire in the summer.

But Arsenal majority shareholder Stan Kroenke wants his manager to stay beyond the summer and deliver the Barclays Premier League title to the Emirates.

Wenger, now 63, revealed at his press conference yesterday morning that he wants to continue his love affair with the Gunners — and even joked he would like to stay at the club forever. Wenger said: “I’m very honoured to have the support of Stan Kroenke. That is something that is very positive for me.” — Mailonline.
