Boss Wenger relaxed over Arsenal contract negotiations

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is relaxed over negations for a new contract - but says he always plans for the long term. Wenger is in the final season of his current deal at the Emirates Stadium and it was reported earlier this week that he had agreed terms on a new deal which would keep him at the club until 2016.

"Yes, I didn't deny that (that a contract had been offered)," Wenger said.

"I just said what I said at the start of the season and nothing has changed."

Wenger continued: "I believe that when you are manager at the club, you have to prepare for the long term always and act like you would stay forever.

"I believe that what is important is the next game."
