Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has insisted that he will be staying on at the club and will not be joining the list of high-profile changes following the retirements of David Beckham and Sir Alex Ferguson.

Dismissing rumours of a summer move, Wenger said that he has always respected his contract at the club and will continue to do so in the future.

The report further said that the Frenchman, who took charge in 1996, would become the longest-serving Premier boss next season despite no trophy for eight years.

His contract expires in the summer of 2014 but he has been linked with a move to Paris St Germain, the report added.

Meanwhile Wenger has reportedly refused to rule out a sensational move for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

Although Wenger, who has been linked with the unsettled Manchester United star, is usually quick to deny interest in supposed transfer targets, the Frenchman said he did not want to discuss the possibility until the end of the season.
