Wenger claims that is the reason why he turned down a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
He said: “I felt if I left I would have in some way betrayed my beliefs.
“It was nothing to do with Real Madrid, it was about Arsenal.
“I knew what Real were about to do but I have a project here that I started four years ago. I could not leave at this stage of their development.
“To talk of winning the League is an audacious statement but I built this team and I want to deliver with this team.
“At 22 or 23 a team is mature enough to deliver.”
