Wenger: Heat on to deliver

Arsene Wenger has spoken about the pressure he feels he is under to bring success back to Arsenal.

The Frenchman is facing one of the biggest tests of his 16-year tenure this season following the Gunners’ Capital One Cup defeat at Bradford this week, which followed on the back of indifferent Premier League form.

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has apologised to supporters for the recent setbacks and fans’ groups say he pledged to make “significant funds” available to Wenger to strengthen the squad in January.
