Hill-Wood opens Wenger talks
Chairman Peter Hill-Wood has revealed talks have opened with Arsene Wenger over a new contract and insists Arsenal have "never been in a better position" going into the new season.
The Frenchman's future at the Emirates Stadium has been the subject of speculation this summer, amid suggestions he might choose not to extend his current contract which expires at the end of the forthcoming campaign.
"I very much hope he will (sign). It's very important," Hill-Wood told www.arsenal.com. "He's done a marvellous job for the last 10 years or so. He looks pretty fit to me and I think he enjoys himself still."
He added: "He's got a good job and I'm hoping he'll stay with us.
"We had a fairly lengthy conversation recently and that went very well.
"Hopefully, in the not too distant future we'll have something positive to say about it. I'm confident he'll stay."
