Arsene Wenger must win Premier League after signing new Arsenal deal, says Thierry Henry

Thierry Henry insists the time has come for Arsene Wenger to win the Premier League again after extending his stay at Arsenal.

Months of speculation and unrest was brought to an end on Wednesday as Wenger signed a two-year contract extension at the Emirates Stadium.

Having been appointed in September 1996, the new deals ensures Wenger will stretch his tenure with the Gunners into a 23rd year.

Not surprised by the contract renewal, Henry believes "only time will tell" whether the decision is vindicated, and has challenged his former manager to end the club's 13-year wait to be champions.

"I said two weeks ago he was going to stay and I wasn't wrong," Henry told Sky Sports News HQ.

"People were talking to me about announcements today, but the announcement would have been if he was leaving.

"But he is not leaving, the board have assessed the situation to see if it was the best for the club. There is nothing new for me or at Arsenal. For 21 years - and now the 22nd and 23rd - he will be here.
