Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: ' I would love to be here forever'

Arsene Wenger has insisted that he would "love" to stay with the Gunners "forever", as he denied speculation suggesting of him leaving the club in the summer. 

The Frenchman stated that he would make a decision with regards to signing a new contract with the North London outfit at the end of the season, based on the results of his managerial campaign.

He also expressed that he was right to rebuff offers from other big clubs over the years to stay with the Gunners, as he appreciated Stan Kroenke's public backing over his role with the club.


Wenger said in a news conference: "I would love to be here forever because that would make me immortal!.


"I love this club of course. I always said that our job is like you work like you are here forever and know that it can end every day.

"I'm very honoured to have the support of Stan Kroenke. That is something that is very positive for me. I've had consistent support from inside the club. I'm very grateful to this club because during my 17 years we have had ups and downs. They have always shown faith in me.

"We have a team now that can compete and that's what we want to show. I've turned many offers down [over the years]. I've always thought this club is special."

Arsenal are currently placed at the top of the Premier League table.
