Could this be the last straw for Gunners fans? (Picture: Getty)

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has potentially made Gunners fans finally lose it with him by admitting that Abou Diaby could get a new contract.

Having made just 22 appearances in the past four seasons, Diaby has nevertheless remained on the Arsenal payroll – and could continue to do so.

‘I had a chat with him and told him how I can envisage the future,’ said Wenger.

‘He has to make a decision. Of course he understands completely that he has to perform and to show that he can be present on a consistent way.


‘I will see where we go from there. I wouldn’t like to go into details, we have to meet again to see where we go from what I told him.’



Although the deal could be a pay-as-you-play one, this might just be the last straw for Arsenal fans…
