OFFICIAL: Wenger Signs New Deal with Arsenal

Arsenal have confirmed that manager Arsene Wenger has extended his contract at the club until 2019.

 The new deal for the man who has spent over 20 years at the club was approved after a private meeting between Wenger and majority shareholder Stan Kroenke in a secret location on Monday.

Details of the Frenchman’s contract were then confirmed 24 hours later in a boardroom meeting, and despite widespread talk of a Director of Football model, the structure of the club is set to remain the same.

Wenger clearly maintains support at boardroom level and will now look to step up preparations for the 2017-18 season, with the club’s supporters undoubtedly keen to see their team challenge for the title.
