Arsene Wenger will not be taking over at Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng when he leaves Arsenal at the end of the season.

The Frenchman will depart the north London club after almost 22 years and speculation has been rife regarding his next move.

Wenger has been linked with a big money move to an unnamed Chinese club, but Shandong moved to dispel rumours that they will hire the 68-year-old to replace current boss Li Xiaopeng in a bizarre statement.
