Arsenal forward Lucas Perez has lifted the lid on the mood of under-fire manager Arsene Wenger amid speculation that he could leave the club at the end of the season.

The Frenchman has endured some bad results in the last few weeks, with his Arsenal side now surely out of the Premier League title race and staring elimination in the face in the Champions League.

This has led to rumours that Wenger won’t renew his contract, which is set to expire in the summer, though Perez insists he knows nothing about his manager’s plans.

The Spaniard claims Wenger is ‘calm’ and ‘excited’ about the rest of the season, despite some poor recent performances.

‘It’s normal that after the defeat to Bayern there were criticisms,’ Perez told Cadena Cope.

‘At the moment he does not transmit (to) us the idea that he is going to leave, but we do not know what’s going on in his mind.

‘He is very excited about this season. He is calm. He has been here for a long time and has a lot of experience. He will know what is best for the club and for him.’
