“I am focused on trying to improve and always trying to see what you can do better and reinvent yourself. I have been here for 20 years and I had many times the opportunity to leave so I don’t think I have to convince you that my preference has always been Arsenal. The club is free to make the decision it wants and I will respect that.”
