Arsene Wenger Committed To Arsenal As England Links Emerge
The Football Association are searching for a new England manager following Sam Allardyce's departure, but Arsene Wenger played down links.
Arsene Wenger has reaffirmed his commitment to Arsenal after once again being linked with the England job.
Sam Allardyce's stunning departure on Tuesday after just one game in charge leaves the Football Association searching for a new manager, although England Under-21 boss Gareth Southgate will take charge of the senior team for their next four matches.
Wenger, who celebrates 20 years at the helm at Arsenal this weekend, has been linked with the position before and his current contract at the Emirates Stadium expires at the end of the season.
Speaking after Arsenal's 2-0 win over Basel in the Champions League on Wednesday, the Frenchman admitted to being flattered to be talked about as a potential candidate for the vacancy - but insisted he was only focused on his current employers.
"My priority has always been this club. Until the end of this season I am here and completely focused on that," he told reporters.
"I said many times my priority was towards Arsenal Football Club, I will have to assess how well I do until the end of the season."
