Arsène Wenger says he is "honoured" to
receive the public backing of Stan Kroenke.
The Club's majority shareholder told newspapers this
week that he feels "totally aligned" with the Arsenal
manager and hinted strongly that he wants Wenger
to stay at Emirates Stadium beyond his current deal,
which expires next summer.
Wenger appreciated Mr Kroenke's tribute and added
that any talks over a contract extension should be
"straightforward".
"I am very honoured to have the support of Stan
Kroenke," said the manager. "That he thinks I can
help the Club is a huge confidence vote. That is
something for me that is very positive."I said I want to focus on the quality of our season
and I don't believe that anybody can question my
commitment to this Club. I want to feel that I do well
and then the question of me staying will be
secondary after that.
"The good thing with me, if I have one quality, [it's
that] you don't need a lot of talks to extend the
contract I have.
"I don't know [when I will sign a new contract]. When
we find time. I don't think that's the most important
problem at the moment. It's straightforward and I
don't think there's anything more to add to that."
