Arsene Wenger insists he has no intention of quitting Arsenal and is determined to see out his contract with the Gunners.

Wenger's future has been the subject of much speculation following Arsenal's poor start to the season, and as the Gunners prepare for their Champions League clash against Marseille, Wenger was forced to swat away suggestions he was lining up a return to his native France.

Wenger, who has been at Arsenal since 1996, last year hinted he would take up a sporting director role at Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain in the future.

Wenger admitted he has acted as an advisor to PSG owner Sheikj Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, but insisted he remained committed to Arsenal.

"I have three years to go with Arsenal and I always respect my contract," Wenger said. "I've known Al Kalifa and [TV station Al Jazeera] for a long time. I know well their TV and I advised them at some stage when they wanted to go into football, buying television rights and things like that."
