Paper round-up: Speculation over Wenger’s future continues

There continues to be speculation over the future of Arsene Wenger.

The Daily Mail suggest fans staying away from home games could lead to Arsenal deciding to replace Wenger as manager at the end of the season.

The Mail believe dwindling attendances are causing serious concern among the Gunners hierarchy and that some club officials want Wenger to go.

There also continues to be speculation over the future of Mousa Dembele.

It comes after the Belgium midfielder, whose Tottenham contract expires next year, recently said he would not discuss a new deal until after this summer’s World Cup.

The Daily Mirror say Spurs would be prepared to sell Dembele if an acceptable offer came in for him.

A number of potential replacements are said to have been sized up, including Barcelona’s Andre Gomes – who has also been linked with West Ham – and Atalanta’s Italy international Bryan Cristante.

Meanwhile, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich wants the club to sign CSKA Moscow midfielder Alexander Golovin, it is claimed.

The Express have picked up on a story by Russian outlet Sport24 suggesting that Abramovich is keen to take the youngster to Stamford Bridge.

It is claimed that Golovin, 21, is likely to sign for Chelsea and then join Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem on loan.
