EPL: Wenger takes decision on second offer from English club

Arsene Wenger has turned down Fulham’s offer to become their new boss for the second time, Daily Mail reports.

The former Arsenal boss has been out of work since he left the Emirates last summer after 22 years in charge of the Gunners.

Fulham, who were relegated from the Premier League this season, originally approached Wenger in November after Slavisa Jokanovic was sacked.

But he rejected them with the West London outfit turning to Claudio Ranieri, who was sacked three months later.

Scott Parker was brought in as interim manager and the Cottagers are hoping to appoint a big name this summer.

They made another attempt to get Wenger, but ‘Le Professeur’ once again brushed off the enquiry as he continues to weigh up his future.

EPL: Luis Enrique May Take Over From Wenger As Arsenal Boss

Arsenal negotiator, Raul Sanllehi has held, advanced discussions with former Barcelona manager, Luis Enrique over the last few days.

L’Equipe reports that the Spaniard is interested in replacing 68-year-old manager because he appreciates the club’s philosophy and respects the values of the club.

If talks with Enrique fails to progress any further, the Gunners will approach their three alternative targets – Carlo Ancelotti, Patrick Vieira and Leonardo Jardim, the newspaper reports.

Reports in Spain earlier this week claimed that Enrique will look to bring veteran midfielder, Andres Iniesta with him to the Emirates if he is appointed Arsenal manager.

Wenger had earlier admitted that the timing of his decision to step down as Arsenal manager was forced upon him.

He said, “The timing was not really my decision. I do my job, keep my routine and focus on what I have to do every day. I prepare well for the game. I think it will be surreal for me when I don’t work. At the moment I work like ever.

“You’re never sure you do the right thing, but life is interesting because you have to deal with different kinds of situations. Until now, I had a life that was full of different experiences.

“Some were very difficult to deal with, but I always did it. That’s another one certainly I will face one day.”

Europa League: Arsene Wenger Speaks On Arsenal 4-1 Win Over CSKA, Injured Players

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has given updates on injuries to some of his key players, after their 4-1 win over CSKA Moscow on Thursday.

Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette both scored twice, as the Gunners took a commanding lead in their Europa League quarter-final tie.

But the win came at a cost. Goalkeeper David Ospina was ruled out before the game, while midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan was replaced by Alex Iwobi in the second half.

“The scan today was reassuring. He will be out for 2-3 weeks,” Wenger said about Ospina.

On Mkhitaryan, he added: “He has a knee problem. We don’t know how bad it is but he’ll certainly be out for Sunday.”

The second leg comes up next Thursday in Russia.

EPL: Arsene Wenger Reacts To Petr Cech Clean Sheet Record

 

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has hailed the club goalkeeper, Petr Cech for becoming the first English Premier League (EPL) shot stopper to reach a remarkable 200th clean sheet in the 3-0 win against Watford on Sunday.

Cech saved a second-half Troy Deeney penalty, his first since joining Arsenal in 2015 to secure a landmark 200th EPL clean sheet.

Goals from Shkodran Mustafi, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan wrapped up a fairly comfortable win over the Hornets.

Wenger piled up praise for his goalkeeper and his “remarkable” achievement.

“The record is absolutely remarkable,” Wenger told Sky Sports.

“It shows fantastic motivation and a fantastic desire to always be the best. It also shows remarkable intelligence because without remarkable intelligence you don’t last in the game, because you have to deal with so many different problems.

“Congratulations to him,” he said.

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has confirmed that the club will be without three first-team players when they face AC Milan in the Europa League at the San Siro stadium on Thursday night.

The three players, according to Wenger are: Hector Bellerin, Alexandre Lacazette and Nacho Monreal.

The Frenchman has been forced to leave the trio back in London rather than travelling with them to Italy for the game, as they look to overcome their respective problems.

Bellerin and Lacazette have been ruled out due to knee injuries, while Monreal is out with a back problem.

Wenger told reporters: “Bellerin is injured. He has an inflammation of his left knee.

“He had a scan yesterday which showed inflammation. He tried but couldn’t absorb the training session so we left him at home. It doesn’t look a long-term problem.

“Lacazette is still struggling, He is not ready.

“We had to leave Monreal behind as well because he’s not ready. “He started a little session today but he’s not ready.”

Meanwhile, striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also unavailable due to being cup-tied, with Danny Welbeck likely to lead the attack line.
