Wright: Wenger likely to leave Arsenal this summer

Arsene Wenger’s future as Arsenal manager is threatening to overshadow the Gunners’ season, and former striker Ian Wright believes the Frenchman will leave at the end of this campaign.

Wenger is out of contract in June and has not confirmed whether he intends to stay or go, although reports suggest there is a deal waiting for him on the table.

However, Gunners fans are becoming increasingly hostile towards Wenger after back-to-back defeats to Watford and Chelsea, which have left their Premier League title hopes in tatters.

And Wright, who is the second-highest scorer in the club’s history, believes the Frenchman has had enough after 20 years in charge.

He said: “I genuinely believe. I was with him for a few hours last night and we were talking. He didn’t say to me ‘I’m leaving at the end of the season’ but … I just get the impression in him and looking at him: ‘That’s it.’

“I think that’s it. He actually mentioned when we were talking last night that he’s coming to the end. I’ve never heard him say that.

“Do I feel he will go at the end of the season? I think he will.”
