Arsene Wenger Paid £9m...

Arsenal sacked Arsene Wenger and paid him £9million to leave at the end of the season, despite having a year remaining on his contract.

The Frenchman announced on Friday that he was leaving the Emirates this summer after 22 years in charge of the club.

The 68-year-old claimed it was 'the right time for me to step down', but it now emerges that he was forced out under pressure from the US owners.
