Massimiliano Allegri has fueled the speculation over replacing Arsene Wenger at Arsenal after admitting that he will not “deny or confirm anything” when asked about the possibility of taking the reins at the Emirates.

Just like the last few seasons, the Gunners are looking destined to waste another promising start to the season after suffering two consecutive defeats in the Premier League that has put them 12 points adrift of leaders Chelsea.

As expected, Arsene Wenger’s position at the Emirates has come under scrutiny for another faltering title bid. The 67-year old is in last year of his contract with the Gunners and speculations are rife that he will step down from the post of Arsenal manager in summer after serving the club for two decades.

The French tactician has led the North London outfit to three Premier League titles and six FA Cup final victories during his tenure. However, the lack of silverwares is mounting pressure on him as his team is in search of its first title success in 13 years.

Reports suggest that the Gunners are in advanced talks with Allegri to take over from their long-serving manager and Allegri’s latest comments are all set to excite them.

Speaking to Mediaset Premium after his team’s 2-0 win over Crotone on Wednesday, the former AC Milan boss said:“I won’t deny or confirm anything. I am in sync with the club, now we have to focus on winning.

“At this time of the season the media always says I’m leaving, even when things are going really well,” said that manager who has led Juventus to two Serie A and the Coppa Italia titles.

Meanwhile, Juve chief Giuseppe Marotta has quashed claims that Allegri would quit Juventus in summer

“Aside from the fact we have a contract with Allegri, I think there are still great targets we need to achieve together and our rapport is very good,” Marotta told Mediaset Premium before the game against Crotone.

“There is no reason for him to leave Juventus as there is great mutual admiration and affection,” he added.
