He told the club’s official website, ‘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.’

The Gunners has been linked to a number of players namely Angel Di Maria of Real Madrid. Wenger is reported to be on the hunt for a defensive midfielder, a central defender, a top class winger and a striker.
