Arsene Wenger admits new Arsenal contract is up but he is in no rush to sign yet

                  Arsene Wenger has admitted Arsenal have offered him a new contract to stay beyond the end of his current deal but he is in no rush to put pen to paper as the Frenchman is out of contract at the end of this season, but is keen to remain at the Emirates with a two-year extension believed to be on the table. Speaking at a press conference ahead of Saturday's visit of Norwich City, Wenger said: 'Yes, I didn't deny that (that a contract had been offered). 'I just said what I said at the start of the season and nothing has changed.' Wenger continued: 'I believe that when you are manager at the club, you have to prepare for the long term always and act like you would stay forever. 'I believe that what is important is the next game.' He said: 'We have learned something in the last 18 months, that the Premier League has changed, that every single game is a potential danger for any team in the league and the recent results in the Premier League have confirmed that. 'Every team who is favourite today is on its toes because they know every game is a potential danger." Arsenal's star man Mesut Ozil is expected to recover from a minor knee problem, but could start on the bench, with next week's Champions League encounter against Borussia Dortmund on the horizon. Midfielder Santi Cazorla could be involved for the first time since the win over Tottenham on September 1 following his recovery from an ankle problem, while full-back Bacary Sagna could also be in contention after a hamstring injury. However, England forward Theo Walcott, who has been sidelined after a minor abdominal procedure, is still two weeks away from being available. Wenger certainly has plenty of options. He said: 'You want all of your best players to play together in a very positive way, which is what will happen. 'I am very happy with the team who has played until now, so we do not expect anything special (from the players coming back). 'What is important is that instead of focusing on one or two players, we focus on developing ourselves as a team and our team play, where there is still room for improvement. There is still the desire within the team to improve that.'
