WENGER IN! Yes and he stays.

Arsene Wenger is STAYING at Arsenal after agreeing a new two-year contract.

Arsene Wenger has informed Stan Kroenke of his decision to remain Arsenal manager.

The news will be relayed to the Gunners board at Tuesday's crunch meeting.

It means - unless there's a dramatic U-turn - Wenger will sign a new two-year contract.

Kroenke, who attended Saturday's FA Cup final, has spoken to Wenger over the past 72 hours. 

The Frenchman is understood to have told the club's majority shareholder of his intention to stay.

Wenger retains the owner's backing, meaning Kroenke is virtually certain to ratify the Frenchman's new deal.

There remains genuine resistance from members for the Gunners board to Wenger staying - but Kroenke holds the final decision.

As revealed by Sportsmail on Monday night, Wenger will be urged to be more assertive in the transfer market during the crunch board meeting.

The hierarchy will propose a number of changes to the way Wenger runs the club's football operation at Tuesday's meeting.

Indeed, there is a feeling from the board that Wenger lacks conviction in the final throes of potential transfers.

In recent years, the club have found themselves frantically signing players on the final day of the summer transfer window - a scenario the club want to avoid.

For example, with a deal agreed for Gonzalo Higuain in the summer of 2013, Wenger dropped his interest in the Argentine to pursue Luis Suarez.

They ended up with neither - signing Mesut Ozil in the final minutes of the transfer window.

Also on the agenda at the meeting will be the proposed contract renewals of Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.

The club's summer transfer business will also be discussed. 

Malaga pair Sandro Ramirez and Pablo Fornals are emerging as serious targets for Arsenal.
