Arsenal legend Ian Wright has revealed that he recently had a private chat with Arsene Wenger in which he hinted that this may be his last season as Gunners boss.

Wenger has once again come under fierce criticism from fans following back-to-back league defeats against Watford and Chelsea which has left us practically out of the title race.

Protests have been staged and banners have been unfurled as fans call on Wenger to fall on his sword.

Wright revealed that he met Wenger at a recent function at the Emirates Stadium, and he gave a strong impression that he’s had enough.

Many close to the boss certainly hope that when he does leave, it will be on his own terms.

“He didn’t say to me: ‘I’m leaving at the end of the season’ but … I just get the impression in him and looking at him that’s it,” Wrighty said on BBC Radio 5 live.

“He actually mentioned when we were talking that he’s coming to the end. I’ve never heard him say that.

“He looked winded like someone has whopped him in the stomach. Do I feel he will go at the end of the season? I think he will.”

In Arsene Wenger’s 21-year reign, this is the first time there have been genuine noises about him walking out on the club he’s known for most of his managerial career.

While it’s rather sad to contemplate such a scenario, but one thing the club is dying for is change.
