Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger could reportedly be preparing to sign a new two-year deal at the club regardless of whether or not the Gunners claim the FA Cup title against Chelsea on Saturday.
The Frenchman's future at the Emirates has been the subject of continuous discussion throughout the season following a number of fan protests, with speculation often suggesting that Wenger could leave the Gunners come the end of the current campaign.
According to The Mirror, however, Wenger is now preparing to sign a two-year deal that would see him remain as coach regardless of the outcome of the club's FA Cup pursuit.
The same report also suggests that the deal could be announced as early as next week, as the club's hierarchy plan to hold a board meeting to ratify the decision.
Wenger's Arsenal side missed out on Champions League qualification for the first time in 21 years this season after claiming fifth place.
