Arsene Wenger has signed a contract extension with Arsenal, tying him to the club until June 2014.


The Frenchman, who is the north London club's longest-serving manager, joined the Gunners in 1996 and has led them to three Premier League titles and four FA Cup wins.


He said: "My heart belongs to Arsenal and my desire is to see this team win silverware. My commitment and drive are as strong and fresh as ever.


"Signing a new deal means that I can see this talented group of players reach their potential. Trust me, they are ready to deliver."


At a press conference ahead of Arsenal's opening Premier League game against Liverpool, Wenger said that captain Cesc Fabregas is also fully committed to the club.
