Arsene Wenger is yet to sign a new contract with Arsenal but is being urged to do so by majority shareholder Stan Kroenke, according to latest reports.

The Frenchman’s future has been the subject of much speculation of late, with his current contract set to expire at the end of the season.

A growing number of Arsenal supporters are calling for Wenger to end his 20-year association with the club, but recent reports claimed he’d agreed to stay on by signing a two-year deal.

Uncertainty over Wenger’s future has seen him linked with the Paris Saint-Germain job, though he has since come out to deny that he’s had any offer from the Ligue 1 giants.

Arsenal are in poor form at the moment with just three wins in their last nine games, two of which came against non-league sides Sutton United and Lincoln City, with fans calling for Wenger to go in last weekend’s 3-1 defeat at West Brom.

Speaking after that game, Wenger said: ‘I will announce my future soon. You will know, and very soon – you will. Don’t think I don’t worry about that.’

Per Mertesacker rose above the Hull defence to powerfully head in the opener from Alexis Sanchez's corner.

Arsenal controlled the first half and almost doubled their lead when Hull cleared off the line.

Hull looked like they had grew in confidence after half-time but tey were no match for Sanchez's sharp turn and calm finish inside 18 yards sealed victory.

The Chilean forward has become our talisman since his £35m summer move from Barcelona and another moment of quality eased any lingering fears of Hull snatching a late draw at the Emirates.

We did lose some rhythm in the first part of the second half as Hull pressed us higher up the pitch. But they failed to seriously stretch the Gunners keeper David Ospina.

England forward Theo Walcott, played 75 minutes on his first Gunners start for exactly a year as he continues to make his comeback from a serious knee injury.

Arsenal began their defence of the FA Cup with a hard-fought and well desrved win as Hull City failed to gain a measure of revenge for defeat in last year's final.

Arsenal vs Hull City


Come on Gunners.

In a whole, Southampton made Arsenal pay for some sloppy defending as Southampton get a 2-0 win to remain above us in fourth place in the Premier League.


Arsenal may have felt they should have been up against 10 men for the later stages as Florin Gardos fouled Sanchez , but he was only booked. Sanchez whipped the resulting free kick over the bar.


Southampton held the Gunners at arm’s length as the clock ticked down, and they saw out a 2-0 victory to beat Arsenal in the Premier League for the first time in 11 attempts.

A very disappointing performance...
