Arsenal to offer Arsene Wenger a new contract

Arsenal look like they are finally be ready to offer manager Arsene Wenger a new contract. The Frenchman has just 15 months left on his existing contract with the club and has uncertainty meandering over his future with the North London side.

Paris Saint-Germain’s growing interest in the Frenchman has become an issue of worry as the Ligue 1 outfit have hired former French international Laurent Blanc as manager to replace the outgoing Carlo Ancelotti, who is set to join La Liga giants Real Madrid.

Blanc’s one-year contract which indicates that PSG might consider making a move for a new manager next season.

The French side have been linked to a host of names this summer for the manager posting, which include Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas, Swansea manager Michael Laudrup and Wenger himself, with the 63 year old being the top fan favourite for the job.

Wenger has been handed over a huge £70 million budget to spend on players this summer, which the club believe would help persuade the Frenchman to stay put for some more years to come.
