Sections of the Arsenal support have called for the Gunners manager, who is in his 21st year at the Emirates, to go.

He claims to have decided on his future - though is keeping tight-lipped.

West Brom boss Tony Pulis insists Wenger told him he was STAYING at the Emirates.

But Wenger told beIN Sports: "My news is that I have no news for you.

"No matter how long I stay, I will be committed, completely focused as long as I stay at the club.

"How long I stay does not really matter because as long as I’m there I’m completely focused on achieving the best for the club.”
