Wenger also turned down the possibility to manage England this year and has previously rejected approaches by Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and the France national team.
The Gunners earned a 2-1 victory over Southampton on Saturday afternoon, secured by a late Santi Cazorla pen to make it two wins on the bounce in the Premier League. “Tomorrow is the first opportunity to show that, after those two winless games, we can play well”.

“They were in the same hotel as us in Los Angeles when Thiago Silva got injured and he has still not come back, but I am not too anxious for them because they have been well above the rest of the teams in their league in recent years and I expect to see a different PSG in the Champions League”.
“It is disappointing as in all of our games I think “we can win”. “The players do not know the team”. The team is ready, I think defensively we have had a few good performances so the team is up for it.
