The Gunners boss is ready to commit to a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2019 and has begun making major changes to the scouting system
Arsene Wenger is close to agreeing a new two-year contract with Arsenal that will keep him at the club until 2019, according to The Sun.
The report claims that Wenger’s ‘appetite’ has been reignited due to Arsenal’s push for the Premier League title this season.
It’s also claimed that the 66-year-old, whose current deal expires in 2017, has already made plans to help Arsenal for the next 10 years by making Steve Rowley the club’s chief scout, with Steve Morrow leading the side’s youth scouting network.
Leicester City’s assistant manager Steve Walsh has also been linked with a move to Arsenal’s backroom team but the report claims that the Gunners will make a promotion internally.
An official announcement is not expected to be made until the end of the season.
