'I want to stay forever' - Wenger ready to sign new Arsenal deal

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.

Stan Kroenke admits Arsenal were never going to land Liverpool striker Luis Suarez

Arsenal majority shareholder Stan Kroenke has conceded they were never going to land Liverpool striker Luis Suarez this summer.
