Wenger agrees new three-year Arsenal deal

The club has always shown faith in me and I'm very grateful for that.

We have gone through fantastic periods and periods where we have to stick together and 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.

Sustained excellence is the hardest thing to achieve in sport and the fact Arsenal has competed at the top of the game in England and Europe throughout the time Arsène has been manager, is the ultimate testimony to his consistency of performance, talent and ambition.

We are delighted with the FA Cup success which has added to his already outstanding record. Under his guidance we look forward to adding more trophies in future seasons.

We are delighted that Arsene has renewed his contract for a further three years.

He is a man of principle, who lives and breathes Arsenal. He has established Arsenal for its exciting playing style around the world, continues his commitment to young players and has the ability to bring top-class players to the club.

I have no doubt we have an exciting future ahead of us with him leading the team.
