Arsene Wenger has given his word to Arsenal's board that he will sign his new contract.
The Daily Mail says Wenger, whose deal expires at the end of the season, has given the Gunners his word that he will stay on.
Talks initially centred around a three-year deal worth £8million a season but it is understood a two-year extension is now more likely.
Wenger still enjoys the unequivocal backing of Arsenal's majority shareholder Stan Kroenke, who is in no doubt Wenger will sign a contract that has been on the table for months.
