The north London club’s second biggest shareholder, Alisher Usmanov, cranked up the heat by claiming that Wenger is now holding Arsenal back, Daily Star reported exclusively.
And in the wake of Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat by Manchester United, the Frenchman was visited by Gazidis at the training base in Hertfordshire.
StarSport understands the meeting – which is not thought to be a regular occurrence – centred around Arsenal’s recent slump that has seen them lose two and draw one of their last three matches.
American owner Stan Kroenke is also believed to be becoming increasingly aware of the frustrations of Gunners fans, who were angry to see the team slip to eighth at the weekend, a massive 15 points behind leaders Chelsea.
