Wenger's new contract more important than player deals, says former Arsenal favourite

The 67-year-old continues to split opinion among the Arsenal fan-base.

Robert Pires believes Arsene Wenger signing a new deal at Arsenal is more important than extending the contracts of star duo Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.

Gunners boss Wenger has yet to announce whether he will agree to a new two-year contract which is currently on the table, despite revealing last weekend that he has made up his mind about his future.
