Arsene Wenger’s secret lover asks him to ‘quit UK for France’

The 'secret lover' of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has allegedly pleaded him to quit the UK so that they can spend more time together in France.

According to the Daily Express, 39-year-old rap singer Sonia Tatar told friends that she was “sick and tired” of fleeting meetings with Wenger.

The pair has been reportedly seeing each other, mainly in Paris, for the past two years.

Sixty-one-year-old Wenger, flies from London to Paris to meet her, despite still living with his wife Annie Brosterhous and 12-year-old daughter Leah. He and Sonia last met, briefly, at Paris airport on Thursday, the paper said.

“Sonia wanted him far nearer. They are both French and they have masses of friends and family in Paris. Arsene is always over here. Sonia wanted him to find work here, perhaps even taking over a French club. It would have meant they could be together for so much longer,” said a close friend of Tatar, who is a divorced single mother with a 17-year-old daughter.

Wenger was last month forced to deny suggestions that he was planning to move to French side Paris Saint-Germain.

Yesterday in a statement he said of his relationship with Sonia: “I do not intend to make any comment and wish to deal with the matter privately.”
