Wenger Signs until 2011
7th September, 2007
Arsene Wenger has at last ended the speculation about his future at Arsenal by putting pen to paper in a new three-year deal. Since the departure of former vice-chairman David Dein in April, Wenger's future has been the subject of much conjecture despite his continued protesting of his commitment to the club. "My heart is tied to this football club so signing a new deal was always my intention, Arsenal is the club of my life" Wenger told the club's official website.
Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood spoke of his joy at keeping the Frenchman at the club for another three years: "It is wonderful news for Arsenal Football Club that Arsene has signed an extension to his contract. We have been at Emirates Stadium for a year now and go from strength to strength off the pitch. With Arsene continuing to manage the team, I am sure we can look forward to more exciting football and success on the pitch. Arsene has a special ability to develop talented players and turn them into world class stars, a quality that is admired here at the club and indeed around the world."
