Arsene Wenger signs new three year Arsenal deal

Arsene Wenger has put pen to paper on a new three year contract keeping him at the Emirates Stadium until 2017. The French manager celebrated the Gunners' first trophy in 9 years after winning the FA Cup two weeks ago.

The French boss had promised the club that he would agree on a new deal and he finally has sealed the signing worth a reported 24 million GBP over three years.

Speaking to the club's website, Wenger said:  "I want to stay and to continue to develop the team and the club. We are entering a very exciting period. We have a strong squad, financial stability and huge support around the world.

"We are all determined to bring more success to this club. The club has always shown faith in me and I'm very grateful for that. We have gone through fantastic periods and also periods where we have had to stick together.

"Every time when that togetherness was tested I got the right response. I think I have shown some loyalty as well towards this club and hopefully we can make some more history. I am sure we can."
