Wenger, who is out of contract in the summer, has come under heavy scrutiny following another poor Premier League title challenge as Arsenal sit 13 points behind leaders Chelsea. The Gunners also look certain to be knocked out of the Champions League after losing the first leg of their last-16 tie to Bayern Munich 5-1. And Seaman, who played seven of his 13 years at Arsenal under Wenger, is adamant the Frenchman's future must be resolved as quickly as possible.

"Is Arsene going to stay or is he going to leave, just come out and say it because all of the unrest that is happening is just building and building while nobody knows what's going on." Seaman feels the uncertainty surrounding Wenger's future will have a domino effect on the contract negotiations of Alexis Sanchez, whose current deal ends in less than 16 months.
