Arsene Wenger has begun new contract talks and plans on being at Arsenal beyond next summer when his contract is set to expire. Wenger also played down links that he was being considered for the Paris Saint-Germain job.
“The link is because I’m French and I know the owners,” he said. “But if that was the case, then I would be there already. My heart is with Arsenal. I am committed to staying longer at this club. We had already a chat with Ivan [Gazidis, the chief executive]. It went very well … not a problem.”
