The 63-year-old says he is honoured by the backing from
the club's owner Stan Kroenke and claims negotiations over a new contract would
not need to be lengthy.
Arsene Wenger insists he would be willing sign a new deal
with Arsenal after the club's owner Stan Kroenke expressed his desire to extend
the 63-year-old's contract.
Wenger's current deal with Arsenal expires at the end of
the season, while the Frenchman had previously claimed that he was in no rush
to open talks with the club's hierarchy.
But following Kroenke's public backing, Wenger joked that
he would be happy to stay at the club forever and believes he would not need
lengthy negotiations to agree a new contract.
"I'm very honoured to have the support of Stan
Kroenke. That is something that is very positive for me," Wenger told
reporters.
"I would love to be here forever because that would
make me immortal! I love this club of course.
"The good thing with me is I don't need a lot of
talk to extend the contract I have.
"I don't think that's most important thing at the
moment. I said I want to focus on the quality of our season and no one can
question my commitment to this club. I want to do well and the question of me
staying will be secondary for that."
Arsenal travel to Wales on Saturday to face Swansea City
in the day's evening kick-off.
