Wenger’s current contract runs out in 2014,and the 63-year old has been courted by several top clubs,with French champions Paris Saint Germain,the well known admirers.
But Arsenal chairman,Ivan Gazidis said that he hopes they can keep him beyond his current deal,as speculations mount over his future.
“We think we have got a fantastic manager,” Gazidis was quoted as saying on the Daily Mail . “We hope he wants to do what he is doing for the long term. I believe he does. I think he is still ambitious, still driven and sees the potential of the club as he looks forward and I think he is very excited by that.”
“We have a great relationship and he has a great relationship with the board. So, quietly and at the right time I think we will make an announcement on that when things are all put in place.”
“We have got a lot of confidence in Arsene that he is the right person to take the club forward and I think he will want to do that. This is going to happen very quietly behind closed doors, privately and then there will be an announcement.”
“This is a club that has had remarkable consistency in terms of its manager, football philosophy and support from the board and our principal owner for the manager,” said Gazidis.
“It is pretty much unmatched, through some difficult periods as well. So if it is consistency players are looking for, Arsenal would be a very attractive place to come.”
What if Wenger fails to miraculously land Arsenal in the top four as he has consistently done before,should the club still offer him a new deal?
