Alan Shearer makes prediction about Arsenal and Arsene Wenger

Alan Shearer says he would be amazed if Arsene Wenger stayed at Arsenal beyond the summer.

The Gunners manager has found himself under increasing pressure in recent weeks after his side’s disappointing run of form.

Wenger watched his Arsenal side slump to a 3-1 loss to West Brom at The Hawthorns on Saturday as they fell further behind in the race for a top-four finish.

Arsenal are currently in sixth place in the Premier League table after having lost four of their last five Premier League games under Wenger.

The Frenchman’s contract is set to expire in the summer and it remains to be seen whether Wenger will commit himself to another season at The Emirates.

However, former England star Shearer is convinced that Wenger is set to leave Arsenal at the end of the season.

Shearer told The Sun: “From the way Arsene was talking at the weekend, I would be amazed if he stays beyond the summer.

“If he says he’s made a decision on his future, then why hasn’t he signed his deal yet? To me, that suggests that he’s off.

“But if he is to go, he doesn’t deserve to do so with criticism and protests ringing in his ears.

“And for that, the players should hang their heads in shame.”
