'That is the priority now': Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger backs calls to finish the Premier League season no matter what

Arsene Wenger has backed calls to finish the Premier League season whatever it takes.

Premier League clubs are meeting today to discuss their next move after suspending games until April 4 last week due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The situation has sparked widespread debate as to how the season is concluded.

FA chairman Greg Clarke voiced his doubts about the prospect of finishing the season while West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady caused controversy when she called for this campaign to be declared 'null and void.'

Such an outcome would have suited West Ham as things stand as they are currently outside of the bottom three on goal difference though Brady clarified: 'My point was safety of fans, players, staff comes first and if the remaining games just cannot be played the only fair and reasonable thing is to declare season null and void.
