FRIENDS FEAR FOR ARSENE WENGER
‘LOVER’
Nowhere to hide: Gunners manager Wenger
FEARS are growing for a sexy French rapper after her
alleged affair with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger drove her to the
brink of despair.
Pals say Sonia Tatar, 39, is "very depressed" after Wenger
allegedly refused her appeals to leave his wife.
Sonia was signed off work sick when their fling was exposed
following crisis talks at a Paris airport last week.
The Arsenal manager is currently at his London home with wife
Annie, 53, and daughter Leah, 13.
A pal said: "All Sonia wanted was to settle down. Now she has
some deeply serious problems to sort."
Arsene, 61, refused to comment on his private life last night,
saying the allegations were "without any truth".
Wenger appeal for privacy after front-page story
alleging he had an affair with a French singer.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has appealed for privacy
after a British newspaper carried a front-page story alleging he
had an affair with a French singer.
Saturday's edition of The Sun published pictures of the married
61-year-old Frenchman meeting a woman it identified as 39-year-old
Sonia Tatar on Thursday in Paris. The paper alleged the two have
had a two-year relationship.
Wenger said in a statement that "this is a very serious matter.
I do not intend to make any comment and wish to deal with the
matter privately".
Arsenal say they consider the allegations to be a "strictly a
private matter and we ask that the privacy of Arsene and his family
be respected".
