Wenger to stay at Arsenal until 2006

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has repeated his desire to stay with the English club until his contract runs out in 2006.

"Those who think I'm going to leave Arsenal don't know me well," the Frenchman told sports daily l'Equipe.

"I have officially made my position clear, which is to go to the end of my contract in 2006. I will stick to my decision," added Wenger, the subject of interest from Real Madrid according to recent newspaper reports.

Wenger, currently on holiday in France, is returning to London next week.

Arsenal, who finished second in the premier league last season behind Manchester United, are due to resume training on June 27.
