Wenger admits discussions with Arsenal board over potential return

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he is not considering a return to the Gunners despite holding discussions with members of the hierarchy. The Frenchman has been touted to take up a board room role with the Gunners but so far, the 69-year-old has resisted the prospect of returning to the north London club.

Speaking to BeIN Sports, Wenger acknowledged that he has been in contact with some of the members of the Gunners board. He added that a comeback of any form remains out of the order as he wants to keep complete distance from manager Unai Emery, he told the channel: “I have been in touch with some people at the club but I felt when you go like that you cannot be half in, half out. You let people who come in work their way. And I wanted to take a complete distance. It’s still a bit early, maybe, to go back. I haven’t been back at the club.”

Arsenal manager suggests Mesut Ozil will continue to be rotated

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has said that Mesut Ozil will continue to be rotated during the forthcoming matches for the club. The former Germany international made a rare start against BATE Borisov in the Europa League on Thursday night but he could not make the most of the opportunity after failing to contribute a goal or an assist.

Speaking after the game, Emery highlighted that Ozil played with a good mentality on the night but does not necessarily assure him of a regular starting role, he said: “Today he showed what he wants. If he is available, like the last two weeks, we are going to play a lot of matches and maybe sometimes we need him in the starting XI and sometimes on the bench because we have a lot of players to also help us. His spirit like today is good and his quality and capacity and combination with some players is good.I think we need every player, and playing Mesut was important and positive.”
