Vinai Venkatesham: Arsenal Won't Leave Premier League for European Super League

Vinai Venkatesham has said Arsenal "aren’t or never have been" interested in featuring in a competition that would weaken the Premier League, though he admitted the club has been part of discussions regarding a European Super League.

The Gunners' managing director praised the Premier League as the pinnacle of sport and spoke against rumours Arsenal want to be a part of a breakaway continental competition, per the Guardian's Amy Lawrence:

“Arsenal aren’t or never have been interested in playing in any competition that weakens the Premier League. The Premier League is the world’s leading league in the leading sport; we don’t want to do anything to damage it.
