HONG KONG: Arsene Wenger will not be taking over at Shandong Luneng when he leaves Arsenal at the end of the English Premier League season, the Chinese Super League club announced on Tuesday. The Frenchman is due to leave Arsenal in the summer after almost 22 years with the Premier League side and speculation has been rife regarding the veteran coach’s future. Wenger has been linked with a big money move to an unnamed Chinese club, but Shandong moved to dispel rumours they will hire the 68-year-old to replace current coach Li Xiaopeng. “We are surprised to learn from our friends online that Mr Wenger will be transferring to our club,” Shandong said. “We’re very comfortable with our own Professor Li.” Published in Daily Times, May 2nd 2018.
