After his side slumped to a fourth Premier League defeat in five games at West Brom on March 18, Wenger said his side are in "unique" peril and he would announce a decision on his future "very soon".

The Frenchman, speaking at a press conference on Thursday, said: "I am very clear in my mind. Do I stay two more years?

"My commitment will be the same. It does not influence my attitude. I've always been clear in my mind. It's a subject that is not sorted completely."

Wenger refuted suggestions that doubts over his future were impacting on the team's performance, adding: "I believe the priority in life is to focus on what is important. Not to look for excuses.
