Arsenal chief Ivan Gazidis says the club's status in Europe is down to it's long-term support of manager Arsene Wenger.

"We reap the benefits of that (stability) because we have a manager in place who is able to think about the good of the club not just for next week or month, but also for the next year and the next five years," he said.

"We think that puts us in a tremendously good position and I think all clubs would ideally like to have that situation.

"Clearly Manchester United and Arsenal have benefited from it and other clubs where they hung with the manager through tough times have reaped the benefit."

Gazidis added: "I don't think Arsene is worried about it at all, or concerned about us wanting to move him and I don't think he is thinking about moving either.

"What he is focused on is the three competitions we are in this year and how we can be successful in those."
