Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has told his players to start performing or will likely face the exit door in the summer.

Islington Gazette reports that Wenger was hauled into a board meeting before relaying the information to the squad and backroom staff.

Wenger, who signed a two-year extension in 2017 taking his contract until the end of next season, is seeing his power slip away at Arsenal.

The Frenchman was used to near-total control but Sven Mislintat, Huss Fahmy and Raul Sanllehi have all been brought in to expand the behind-the-scenes team and help in recruitment.

In addition, Josh Kroenke - major shareholder Stan's son - has moved to London as he visits the club's offices to conduct a review.

Responding to question from journalist about his job, Wenger said:"My position is my position. Honestly, that’s the last worry I have at the moment. My worry is to focus, to get the team ready for tomorrow’s game (against Manchester City).

"It’s the next game. We are in that kind of situation where you want to focus on the next game. I don’t ask you if your position is reviewed at the end of the season.

"My job is to focus on performing and my job is to perform. It’s for other people to judge me, it isn’t for me to evaluate that.

"Do I expect to be in charge next season? I just told you the answer. If you need clarity, I can repeat exactly the same answer.

"Exactly, that’s the clarity. Does it stop you to sleep that my position is uncertain or would not be certain, or is certain? No.

Wenger added that: "What is interesting in football is the performances of football, the game you will see on Thursday night. That is what is important. All the rest may make headlines, but it is not really interesting.

"I am just amazed that I have to always answer things that are exactly the same. I am here for 21 years, I turned the whole world down to respect my contracts.

"So I am still amazed that I still have to answer these types of questions."
