Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has continued to hint that his immediate future lies at the Emirates Stadium.
The Frenchman's current deal expires at the end of this season and there had been speculation earlier this year that he would be leaving the Gunners next summer.
However, a more content Wenger has now revealed that there will be a development in his contract negotiations later this week.
"Am I still motivated to go on at Arsenal? Yes absolutely. I am very motivated," Wenger told RMC radio.
"With all the young players I signed, I feel a kind of responsibility.
"I am in talks with Arsenal. I can't see any drawback to extend. There will be some news on Thursday or Friday.
"We had a nice start to the season. We still have our technical game, and we have a young team that has got a little more experience.
"We lost the star of our club, Thierry Henry, so it has changed something indeed.
"But you know maybe it has pushed the youngsters to take on more responsibilities.
"It is a little early to take stock after three matches at home. Our real challenges will be away from home against the big teams."
