Wenger denies Primorac is leaving Arsenal

Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, has denied reports claiming that his first-team assistant Boro Primorac, is leaving the club and labelled the news as “a complete invention”.

On Wednesday, The Sun reported that Primorac, who has worked alongside Wenger at Arsenal since 1966, is set to take up the role of manager at Turkish club, Konyaspor.

But Wenger, whose own future is uncertain beyond this season, rejected the report.

“That’s a complete invention,” Wenger said on Thursday at a news conference ahead of Saturday’s visit to West Brom.

Pressed on whether it was “fake news,” Wenger replied: “Fake news. It’s good today — you say anything and everybody takes it without checking any information. Everybody just takes it and makes a subject. It’s not serious.”

Wenger also dismissed reports in Spain that Hector Bellerin, who signed a new six-year deal with the Gunners, could leave for Barcelona.

“No. He just extended his contract. It’s an unbelievable amount of years to go,” Wenger said.

“I believe again it’s very difficult to take these things seriously.”
