Arsene Wenger reveals plan for Arsenal successor after exit hint

Arsene Wenger has been at Arsenal for 19 years

ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger has expressed his desire to win the Premier League title this season and revealed his hopes for his eventual successor.

 

The Frenchman has been at the club for 19 years, overseeing the move to the Emirates and nine major honours in his time.

But the Gunners have rarely come close to winning the league title since the Invincibles in 2004. 

Wenger's side currently lie in second place in the league this season and with the other big clubs suffering an inconsistent start, critics feel this may be Arsenal best chance of winning the title.

 

And at Arsenal's annual general meeting, Wenger challenged his players to show consistency.

He said: "We want more than third and winning the FA Cup, we have the potential to do more.

"We are back in contention for the championship this year, and we will fight, our numbers show it.

 

"We have taken more points since 1 January than anyone, the trend is right and we are showing consistency." 

Wenger then made clear his determination to leave Arsenal in the best possible position before he leaves.

He added: "I’m more motivated and committed than ever. I know how sad people are when we lose a game. 

"I’m committed until the last day of my contract to bring back big success and leave the club in the shape for the guy that comes after me."
