Arsene Wenger is set to extend his stay at the Emirates Stadium and sign a new contract.The deal is said to be three years worth up to £24 million. Wenger's future at Arsenal has been uncertain for a while, but In recent weeks Wenger has indicated he wants stay in North London.
The Frenchman's deal runs out at the end of the season and the club are eager for the Premier League's longest serving manager to put pen to paper.
Arsenal's Chief executive Ivan Gazidis said yesterday:
"We've always supported Arsène and Arsène has always been committed to this football club,"
"Arsène will be extending with us and at the right time we will make that announcement.
Gazidis added:
"He's always been completely committed to this football club, it's the football club of his life so we're convinced at the right time we'll quietly make an announcement and he's the right person to see us forward. I'm convinced of that."
Wenger has been at Arsenal since 1996 and has gone on to win three League titles and four FA Cups. A defining factor in Wenger staying at Arsenal will be the prospect of winning trophies, something the 64-year-old has been unable to deliver since 2005.
The Gunners recently announced their five year sponsorship with Puma, worth £150 million. The deal ends Arsenal's 20 year association with Nike and is one of the biggest sponsorship deals in English football history.
