		</div><p>Arsene Wenger insists he will play no part in choosing his successor at Arsenal when his time comes to move on.</p>
<p>The Frenchman, who turns 67 next week, celebrated 20 years in charge of the Gunners earlier this month but it is unclear how much longer he will remain the role.</p>
<p>Wenger&#8217;s contract runs out in the summer when either manager or club could decide it is time for a change.</p>
<p>The England manager&#8217;s position remains a possibility for Wenger, who admitted he could be tempted by the role &#8220;if I am free one day&#8221;, but he could also sign a new deal to further extend his stay in north London.</p>
<p>Wenger is clear on one thing about his departure, he will not hand-pick his replacement, although he may offer his opinion if asked by the powers that be at the Emirates Stadium.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it is very important in the club that everybody does what he is paid for,&#8221; he said in an interview with beIN Sports.</p>
<p>&#8220;My job is to be the manager of the club and to be responsible for the style of play and the technical policy of the club. The board&#8217;s responsibility will be to choose the next manager so that is not my job.</p>
<p>&#8220;If they ask my opinion, I will give it in an honest way, but it will not be me to choose the next manager. I&#8217;m not in their position, I am in my position.</p>
<p>&#8220;The love story I have with the club is linked as well with the fact the board has always shown faith in me and I&#8217;m very grateful for that.</p>
<p>&#8220;No matter what happens, I will have to make my decision, the board will have to make a decision and I will respect the decision of the board anyway, even if I wish to stay on I will respect always the decision of the board &#8211; they have the responsibility to do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wenger&#8217;s passion shows no sign of abating as he goes in search for a first Premier League crown since his &#8216;Invincibles&#8217; of 2003/04 won the title without losing.</p>
<p>He welcomes Swansea on Saturday looking for a sixth-straight victory in all competitions and he remains confident in his ability to continually improve his current squad.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think I&#8217;m moving the club forward, and the way it is managed forward, I&#8217;m quite confident on that,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>&#8220;What will decide me to continue or not is the fact I feel people still want me to be there, the club still want me to be there and my conscience that I have done well or have not done well.</p>
<p>&#8220;That will be a decisive factor, have I done well? Have we achieved what I wanted to achieve with this team? That will be at stake.</p>
<p>&#8220;Me, purely as a manager, I like to do what I do. Will I do something else one day, I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;m not at the end of my knowledge or at the end of my desire to do more and become better.</p>
<p>&#8220;The only thing that drives me on is that I want tomorrow to be a better manager than today. As long as I have that I don&#8217;t want to stop my career, even if I don&#8217;t think I will manage somewhere else maybe.&#8221;</p>

<p>Any title hopes Arsenal had last season were damaged with a defeat in the corresponding fixture back in March, when relegation-threatened Swansea won 2-1 at the Emirates.</p>
<p>Wenger wants his squad to show on Saturday just how far they have come since then and prove they are bona fide title contenders this time around.</p>
<p>&#8220;Last year we had a very negative experience with Swansea who killed our opportunity to win the Premier League,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have a good opportunity to show that we have learned from that and that we are capable of dealing with these kinds of opponents.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s what is at stake for us. We have to refocus because the players have been away and we&#8217;ve basically had nobody here. We have to show that we can deal with the kinds of fixtures where we are the favorites.</p>
<p>&#8220;We were not always capable of doing that last season and we want to show that we have moved forward.</p>
