Arsenal concerned over Wenger delaying contract talks

Arsenal have put new contract plans with manager Arsene Wenger on-hold.The Sun says Emirates insiders have become increasingly concerned by Wenger's refusal to commit himself to the £160,000-a-week contract agreed in principle last year.

Chief executive Ivan Gazidis said in January: "Arsene will be extending with us and, at the right time, we will announce that."

Yet behind the scenes, there are said to be growing fears that Britain's longest-serving manager could yet walk away when his current deal expires at the end of the season.

Wenger, 64, has always maintained he will only sign a new deal when he is certain his team can win honours again.
