Married Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been in a two-year relationship with a French rap star, it is claimed today. The 61-year-old was allegedly spotted with glamorous singer Donya, 39, enjoying a romantic lunch on Thursday in Paris.
The pair were at a restaurant at an airport hotel, where it's claimed they kissed and held hands at the table. This morning a spokesman for Mr Wenger said it was a private matter and he did not wish to comment

Wenger arrived in Paris at 1.45pm amid airport strikes and the unlikely match spent 90 minutes together. The rap star, called Sonia Tatar, who has been previously wed but got divorced aged 20, was caught wiping food from Wenger's chin.
The pair were then seen slipping out of the building for Sonia to have a sneaky cigarette before later walking back to the airport together. At one point Arsene held his hand over his face after being spotted by fans.
On saying farewell, they drew each other close and held hands before kissing goodbye.
According to The Sun, the father of 13-year-old Leah first met his French mistress 22 years his junior in a diner in Paris two years ago.
He invited her to watch Arsenal and embarked on an illicit affair involving secret meets at the elusive £750-a-night Concorde Lafayette hotel where they were able to enjoy breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower.
A close friend said: 'She was a maitre d' at a restaurant when Mr Wenger arrived with a number of business associates. The mutual attraction was pretty much instant.

Pictured with Claude Makele and Patrick Viera, Sonia appears to be very comfortable in the presence of successful sportsmen, Wenger being of no exception. In response to the accusations, the football manager said the claims were a 'serious matter' that he wished to deal with 'privately'.
Wenger said: 'This is a very serious matter. I do not intend to make any comment and wish to deal with the matter privately.' Arsenal Football Club echoed the sentiment, calling for Wenger and his family's privacy to be respected.
A club statement read: 'Arsenal Football Club considers the allegations concerning our manager Arsene Wenger strictly a private matter and we ask that the privacy of Arsene and his family be respected.'
