Arsenal are confident that coach Arsene Wenger will stay at the Emirates Stadium with as chairman Peter Hill-Wood told on Monday that talks over a new contract with the Frenchman have opened.
Wenger's current contract expires at the end of the forthcoming campaign, but Hill-Wood told the club's official website that he is confident the manager will sign up.
"I very much hope he will (sign). It's very important," the chairman told on the club's website.
Wenger's side have been hit by the departure of captain Thierry Henry for Barcelona, while the futures of Wenger and midfielder Cesc Fabregas have also been the subject of persistent speculation, although the Spaniard committed his future to the club over the weekend.
With Croatia's Brazilian-born striker Eduardo da Silva, full-back Bacary Sagna and goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski the only new arrivals so far, Arsenal's ability to keep pace with their big-spending rivals has been called into question.
