Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that the perception of doing a good job is what motivates him to continue in the role.

Wenger was reportedly close to leaving the Gunners last season, despite winning the FA Cup with a 3-2 victory over Hull City.

He told The Mirror: "I always said the same thing to you, that I wanted to think I had done well for the club.

"My motivation was never at stake and I never questioned that. Did I want to go somewhere else? Never. I always wanted to stay.

"But I needed to feel, as well, that I had done a good job and of course the fact we couldn't win was going on in my mind. It was important for me to feel I have done a decent job."

Wenger has signed Alexis Sanchez, Mathieu Debuchy, David Ospina and Calum Chambers this summer.
