Shareholders happy as Wenger stays in frontline for Gunners

ARSENAL shareholders will head into today’s annual general meeting at Highbury secure in the knowledge the future of their club is in safe hands.

The announcement of a £100 million sponsorship deal with Emirates Airlines to secure the naming rights on the new stadium at Ashburton Grove and an eight-year shirt sponsorship deal was, according to chairman Peter Hill-Wood, an offer too good to turn down.

However, it is the news that manager Arsene Wenger is close to committing his own future to the Premiership champions which will have been just as welcomed by Gunners fans.
