ARSENAL NEWS

For the first time in Arsene Wenger era, there is a realistic possibility that Arsenal won't finish the league in the top 4. Wenger might leave the club as well as the star player Alexis Sanchez and some other important first team players. The atmosphere in the club is probably the worst in the past couple of years, but Arsenal has no choice but to win in every match until the end and to try to save the season.
