‘Wenger will be manager for another 10 years’ – Former Arsenal midfielder makes bold claim

Arsene Wenger will be Arsenal manager for another 10 years, says former youth star Oguzhan Ozyakup

Arsene Wenger continues to divide opinion among Arsenal fans with the supporter base split over those that want him to stay and leave.

Former Gunners youth player Oguzhan Ozyakup has wade into the argument and gave his opinion on Wenger’s future.

Ozyakup feels that what is said in the media and what happens behind the scenes is completely different.

“There is a lot of talk about Wenger leaving, they always talk but he always stays,” Ozyakup told FourFourTwo Turkey.

“He always stays and I think he will actually stay for another 10 years.”

Wenger has been Arsenal head coach for 20 years and his current role at the club divides opinion among the fans and football pundits alike.

On the one hand he has consistently delivered a top four place – except last season – Champions League football and financial stability.

The flip side of the argument is that Arsenal have not won the Premier League for a decade. The North London side have not progressed further than the Last 16 stage of the Champions League for seven consecutive seasons.

Critics feel that Arsenal do not have a winning culture, that financial gain is celebrated over footballing success.

Supporters of Wenger warn the critics to be careful what they wish for and that the grass may not be greener on the other side.

Ozyakup left Arsenal in 2012 in search of first-team football. The Turkish international has gone onto become a first-team regular at Besiktas.

The 24-year-old already has two league championship under his belt and is a regular call up for the Turkish national team.
