Kolo Toure is confident Arsene Wenger will agree a new
deal to stay at Arsenal.
Wenger's current contract expires at the end of the coming season
and there has been speculation about his future.
Thierry Henry said as he joined Barcelona that he could not risk
being at Arsenal without Wenger, but Toure does not believe he will
leave.
"For me, I think he will stay," said the defender. "Mr Wenger
brings something special to this club and to keep him would be a
great thing.
"We need to win some trophies and I'm sure Mr Wenger will bring
lots of trophies to the club."
Henry's departure has led to predictions of a difficult season for
The Gunners, but Toure is sure his young team-mates have improved
from last term.
He explained: "We have all progressed mentally. We know what was
wrong last season and have worked on it. We are focused and we know
we can do something.
"We've played together for a long time. Each player has a big role
and we're confident. We've all progressed together and we know
we're going to make it."
