Arsenal Wenger Hopeful Of Seeing Out His Contract by Priceless16: 9:57pm On Feb 16, 2018 |
Long-serving Arsenal manager
Arsene Wenger is hopeful of seeing out his current
two-year contract at the English Premier League club
amid speculation about his future.
The Frenchman signed a new contract at Arsenal at the
end of last season but the club have shown little
progress this term.
They sit sixth in the league, knocked out of the
English FA Cup and unsure of UEFA Champions
League qualification for next season.
The club’s inconsistent performance has led to
speculation that Wenger’s 22-year reign could come
to an end after the current season.
“I have always respected my contracts,’’ Wenger,
68, said.
“I will like to recall that I said `no’ to all the
biggest clubs in the world to respect my contract. So,
that’s always what I try to do.
“After that, we have as well to accept in our job that
the future is the future. But, for me, that’s to win
the next game.
“We have to perform better in every single game and
show until the end of the season a complete hunger to
win every single game. That’s what it’s about for
us.”
Arsenal’s best chances of winning a trophy remain
in the English League Cup, as they face Manchester
City in the final on Feb. 25.
They are also in the UEFA Europa League, where they
recorded a 3-0 win over Ostersunds in the first leg of
their last 32 tie on Thursday.
The Europa League is also Arsenal’s most viable
option to qualify for the UEFA Champions League
next season.
The eight-point gap to fourth-placed Chelsea in the
league appears insurmountable with 11 games left to
play.(Reuters/NAN) https://newsdigest.ng/sports/2018/02/16/arsenal-boss-wenger/ |
