Wenger set to offer ‘super special’ Bergkamp new deal

ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger revealed after last night’s demolition of Everton that he has made his mind up about a new contract for Bergkamp - but will not reveal whether the Dutchman is staying or going until the end of the season.

I’ve made my decision,” said Wenger. “I’m under big pressure tonight but Denis has done extremely well. We’ll sit down before the end of the season - but I feel it will come out at the end of the season. You have to be special to play at 36 at this level and he’s super special.

“He had a hand in the first three goals and created a few other chances - you don’t meet a Dennis Bergkamp on a corner of every street.”
