Real deny contact with Wenger

REAL MADRID sporting director Jorge Valdano has denied any club official has spoken or met with Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger in the past fortnight.

The Frenchman is thought to be on Madrid’s list of potential replacements for Vicente del Bosque.

Wenger had reportedly met Madrid club president Florentino Perez, although Wenger insisted he was “committed to Arsenal” and unprepared to “get involved in any of this speculation”.
