Wenger committed to Arsenal

12 April 2012

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reaffirmed his commitment to the club after being linked with a move to Real Madrid.

Wenger sparked speculation that he could be prepared to leave the Gunners this summer after admitting that working with the Spanish giants would be an "interesting project". But on Friday the Frenchman said there could be little doubt about his dedication to the Arsenal cause.

"I have shown my commitment always to this club, in good and in bad times and in the worst times, but I don't think that people can question my commitment" Wenger told Arsenal TV.

Asked whether that meant he would still be at the Emirates Stadium next season, he added: "I do not have to repeat every week exactly the same thing."

Wenger said he still felt the club were on the up and even made a point of mocking Real's recent record in Europe.

"I believe we had recent disappointment but overall since eight months (ago) I'm very proud of the way the team has improved" he said.

"You speak about Real Madrid - they waste a lot of money and they have gone out in the last 16 of the Champions League for five consecutive years."

Arsenal's Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been linked with a move to AC Milan and Wenger admitted the situation was complicated.

Asked if he was confident Adebayor would stay, Wenger said: "Yes, but that depends as well. It's very difficult to go into any individual assessment with that.

"The only things I can say is that Adebayor is under contract and he's with Arsenal, and that's it."
