Wenger keeps out of takeover talk

Arsene Wenger remains focused on the job of moulding his Arsenal squad back into a title force again despite continued speculation the Barclays Premiership club are set for a takeover by American tycoon Stan Kroenke.

Following the shock departure of his strongest ally, vice-chairman David Dein, from the board earlier this week, it was suggested the French coach was about to follow him out of Emirates Stadium in the summer.
