The former Liverpool boss has been linked with the Gunners after impressing with Newcastle, but he is considered to be too negative in his approach

Having helped Newcastle to down the Gunners in their latest Premier League outing, the former Liverpool boss has drawn support from a disgruntled fan base at Emirates Stadium.
Fresh calls have surfaced for Wenger to be relieved of his role in the summer, as Arsenal head towards a sixth-place finish at best and cling to the hope of securing Champions League qualification through a Europa League triumph.
