Wenger to hold contract talks

ARSENE WENGER will discuss a new contract with Arsenal in the summer or autumn, it has been claimed.

The Frenchman’s current deal at the club expires in the summer of 2011, and Wenger is determined to see the young side he has assembled claim a trophy. The Gunners are still in the running for the Premier League crown this season and have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, though they face a tough trip to Barcelona tomorrow.

Wenger said: “This summer or in the autumn we will talk. My personal future will depend on the capacity to win trophies but also on whether this team is improving year after year, because we are still very, very young. Ideally I would not want to leave without this generation winning a trophy.”
