Mikel Arteta has finalised terms on a new long-term deal with Arsenal's hierarchy. According to BBC Sport, the updated contract is set to see the Spanish manager remain at the Emirates for a total of nearly ten years.
The current agreement for the former midfielder was due to expire in the summer of 2027. Both parties have made significant progress in negotiations and are fully confident that an official signing will be completed soon. Arteta has previously expressed his desire to stay in North London:
Everyone is confident that there will be no issues with the contract duration. My desire is absolutely clear – I want to remain here, I am very happy at the club.
Arteta took the helm at Arsenal in December 2019. Last season, he led the Gunners to their first Premier League title in 22 years and reached the Champions League final.
