Premiership: Wenger predicts bright Arsenal future

Arsene Wenger revealed that admiration for his players, an ambitious board and the prospect of 70,000 to 80,000 Arsenal fans filling a new stadium had persuaded him to sign a four-year extension to his Highbury contract.

The 52-year-old Frenchman, who had six months to run on his current deal, has finally ended months of speculation about his commitment to the Gunners with a decision on Arsenal’s future home looming large.
