Wenger is in the final year of his contract, but there is an air of confidence around the Emirates at present, and his previous detractors are becoming few and far between.
The Times have reported that Wenger is putting the final touches to a new two-year deal, and his renowned commitment will help persuade star men Sanchez and Ozil to agreeing new deals.
The Gunners boss said at the weekend that he would have to "break the bank" to get Ozil to sign a new deal at the club, with reports that the player is demanding £250,000 a week. His treble against the Bulgarians will have put him in a good position for Wenger to have his hand forced, however.
Wenger said after the Ludogorets triumph: "Our confidence is stronger with every win but we have to keep the vigilance and the urgency to bring that into the next game.
