5 plausible reasons why Arsene Wenger's contract was renewed

#2 Arsene Wenger still has the canniest head on his weary shoulders

Wenger knows!

As many would argue that Monsieur Wenger has lost his touch and should call it a day, it is no surprise that at his age, he has a host of suitors waiting for his signature. Be it PSG, or the French national team, any football team would be eager to lap up this ripe opportunity of having Arsene Wenger as their head coach.

His ability to discern grain from chaff makes it a win-win situation for the management as well as the team. The vision of the manager is validated with incisive buys like an unheard 20-year old Rob Holding.

When the need arose, he stood tall to face the irate and brawny Diego Costa. Holding was impeccable in the FA Cup final and the calmness exhibited by the Briton made him stand out.

Wenger was able to foresee the same and bought the talented defender for a fee as low as £2 million. These days when zillions of pounds are wasted on nonperforming players, Le Professor proved his mettle with his business acumen in the transfer market.
