The case was disclosed in a seminar on gambling at the Sporting Chance clinic in Hampshire this week, and Wenger feels the clinic - founded in 2000 by former Arsenal and England captain Tony Adams to help professional sports people battling addictions - have a responsibility to make details of the discussions public.

"He has to come out really with it because I don't think it is fair," said the Gunners boss.

He added: "If there is a confidentiality problem, then he (Sporting Chance Clinic) shuts his mouth completely.

"I believe it throws suspicion into our sport that is unfair unless you name the guy."

Wenger maintained: "I don't think it is a problem. However, match-fixing is horrible. I never could believe that it could happen here.

"You want justice to be done. If you want to win the game and you know that the matches are fixed, the sport has no chance.

"For any single case that you find, you have to ban for life."
