Robert Pires is convinced Arsene Wenger will sign a new contract with Arsenal.

As speculation surrounding the French manager continues, club legend Pires is of the belief that a new deal is on the table and the 67-year-old will put pen to it.

However, fellow countryman Pires says that Wenger has to change plenty at the Emirates Stadium if next season is to be a success.

"In my opinion, he will renew his contract, at least for one season. He is motivated and willing," he told Spanish radio station Cadena SER.

"Arsene has an offer on the table. He has to sign it. He has the backing of the owner. The fans want to win the title and Arsenal are not doing that well.

"They are in the FA Cup semi-finals. He has to continue and if he does, he needs to change many things.

"That is the most important thing for him and for Arsenal. We will see what happens."
