What Neil Lennon did with Wanyama after Dunfermline debut red card
The Kenyan signed for the East End Park side shortly after Lennon was appointed as boss. He made his hotly anticipated debut in a Championship clash away at Ayr United, but was sent off for deliberately handling the ball and in the process, denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. Read more: "We had a chuckle about it," Lennon told The Courier. "I was going to say, we've all done that, but I never did that!" Wanyama's short-term deal with Dunfermline expired at the end of last season. Lennon, however, would ideally like to sign him up long-term. "Possibly, yeah, possibly," said the manager when asked whether Wanyama could put pen to paper once more. "I don't know yet. Once he got fit, he looked great and he played really well in the last game [vs Morton]. "If he had a good pre-season, he could be a real asset for us." The 33-year-old was recently called up to play for his country in a friendly double-header against Chad. Wanyama requested to be excused from international duty: "He's doing his coaching barges," explained Lennon. "He's actually doing them in Belfast, I think, with the IFA. "That's another one he wants to add to his resume, the coaching side of things as well. "So maybe there might be something there for him going forward."

Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Gunners release SEVENTEEN players, ‘open talks' with Sane, Sesko bid imminent
Arteta to walk? John Obi Mikel has claimed that Mikel Arteta could leave Arsenal if he has another trophyless season. Is [Arteta] the guy to take them to the next level? I think he has built a really, really good team there. They're solid, they're playing well, the defence is good, the midfield is good. I think he has built a solid team, but is he the guy to take them to the next level? The next level is winning the Premier League and winning the Champions League – sometimes I do think a fresh voice is needed. Now he has been there for five or six years, I give him one more year. Give him next season, [but] if he doesn't do it, I think for his sake it is better to just walk. Then he is not the guy to be able to do it. Get someone new, get someone fresh.
