Wenger 'not obsessed' with winning send-off
With his Arsenal contract running down, Arsene Wenger insists he is not basing his exit strategy around a trophy triumph.
Arsene Wenger says he is "not obsessed" with the notion of ending his Arsenal career with one last trophy.
The Frenchman – who has distanced himself from the vacant England manager's job – is out of contract at the end of this season and marks his 20-year anniversary at the club this weekend.
His former Manchester United adversary, Alex Ferguson, ended his glittering 26-year Old Trafford career with a Premier League title, but Wenger insists that is not a factor in deciding his own future.
"I am not obsessed by that," said Wenger, who has won three top-flight crowns and six FA Cups.
"Would Ferguson have not have gone out on a high after the history? Time makes a difference with what the guy has done. He would still be the same great manager had he not gone out on a high. You don't lose his experience just in the last year.
"One of the factors is that the club and supporters still want me and I still want to stay. What will make me want to stay is that I feel I can give more to the club.
"People know that if things go well my priority is this club. After I have to accept as well that if things don't go well, maybe I do something else.
