Peter Hill-Wood, the former Arsenal chairman who appointed Arsene Wenger, has said he believes the Frenchman should go.

Hill-Wood has been a staunch supporter of Wenger throughout his time as manager.

But the 82-year-old, who stood down as chairman in 2013, told the Daily Star: “I clearly am not very happy about what is going on.

“I think that there probably ought to be a change of management. He has done fabulously well, it is just he has overstayed his welcome.”

And according to The Sun, Arsenal’s current hierarchy have also lost faith in Wenger.

Chief executive Ivan Gazidis along with fellow directors Sir Chips Keswick and Lord Harris of Peckham reportedly no longer believe Wenger is the right man for the job.

Meanwhile, Juventus want to sign Hector Bellerin from Arsenal, according to The Guardian.

It is claimed that Bellerin is unsettled at the Emirates Stadium and would consider a move elsewhere this summer.

And Tottenham want Son Heung-min to sign a new contract, according to The Sun.

The South Korean, who has been in excellent form, is under contract until 2020.

The Sun say Spurs are keen for him to commit his long-term future to the club by signing an improved deal.
