Unai Emery says Arsenal are the first club to offer him a long-term project, dispelling rumours he could face the sack.

The Spaniard signed a three-year after replacing Arsene Wenger in the summer and has enjoyed an inconsistent debut campaign.

But the former PSG boss has revealed he will be given time to see out his project.

"As a manager, I have always put myself under the pressure of the necessity to win," he told Sky Sports.

"You know that winning will allow you to either continue what you're doing or to find another project. And you know that if you lose, they will take the project you already have away from you.

"But at Arsenal, it's maybe the first time I feel that I have the support to build up from the bottom in order to get where we want to be.

"It allows us to work more for the long-term – or at least, 'long-term' in football terms. It supports the kind of work we want to do at this club."
