Arsenal ready to hand Wenger new contract

Arsenal are ready to offer new terms to manager Arsene Wenger. The Sun says Wenger's current deal expires in 2014 and speculation has grown that he may retire.

But Arsenal's chief executive Ivan Gazidis has backed Wenger, 62, and insists the club are committed to ending their run of seven years without a trophy.

Gazidis said: "It's not sentimentalism or a reward for our services, it's a belief that we have an incredible manager who is the best man to lead us forward."
