Arsenal Transfer News: Arsene Wenger Insists He Will Not Quit at the End of the Season

Arsene Wenger reiterated his desire to see out his contract at Arsenal, amid rumors of a possible exit at the end of the season.

Arsenal are currently undergoing one of the worst, if not the worst, seasons under Wenger, since the manager took over in 1996.

The Gunners have been knocked out of all Cup competitions, two of them by lower league opposition, with the away goals defeat to Bayern Munich consigning the north London club to eight years without silverware.

Arsenal are also in danger of not qualifying for the Champions League next season for the first time in the Wenger era, with the club currently lying in fifth place with just ten games remaining.

There have been reports suggesting Wenger might leave at the end of the season, with the likes of Paris Saint Germain and Real Madrid reportedly showing an interest.

Unrest has been growing considerably this year, with more and more fans asking for Wenger to step down.

However, Wenger is one to always honor his contracts, and the Frenchman insisted he would remain at the Emirates until his deal expires in 2014.

"I still have desire," he told beIn Sport.

"I am under contract until 2014 and I am used to fulfilling my contracts."

Meanwhile, Wenger hailed his team's effort in the 2-0 win over Bayern in the Champions League second leg, where they fell agonizingly short of creating a huge upset.

"If you just consider the night, you can only be proud of the performance of the players," Wenger told the club's official website. "If you consider the two legs, of course it's disappointing because we've gone out and paid a heavy price for the goals we conceded at home.

"I believe that last night we played with determination, authority and cohesion. We won a big game. Let's be inspired by that for the rest of the season.

"We showed more authority in the duels. We were more on the front foot and less on the back foot.

"A part of it is mental when you defend as well, to show that you're there to be respected and I think we did that very well.

"We were on top of them in our duels and if you multiply that by 10, on the field that makes a big difference."
