Boom! Mikel Arteta set to sign new Arsenal contract
Arsenal are preparing to secure the long-term future of the man who brought the Premier League title back to North London.
Details: Mikel Arteta has reached a verbal agreement with Arsenal over a new long-term contract. According to the latest reports, the Spanish manager has agreed to extend his stay at the London club, with only the formal steps remaining before the deal can be completed. The new agreement will also include a significant pay rise for the 44-year-old coach.
Importantly, the new contract is not just about Arteta's salary or his future on the touchline. The Spaniard will remain a central figure in Arsenal's sporting project and will continue to play a key role in coordinating transfers and other important areas of the club's operations.
The agreement has already been reached verbally, although the final documents have yet to be signed. Arsenal have not officially announced the extension, and the precise duration of the new contract and Arteta's updated salary have not been disclosed.
Arteta's previous agreement was due to expire at the end of the 2026/27 season. Discussions over an extension had been ongoing for several months, with the London club determined to secure the manager's future following their Premier League triumph.
It is worth noting that Arteta has been in charge of Arsenal since December 2019. Under his management, the Gunners won the 2025/26 Premier League title, ending a 22-year wait for the English championship.
Reminder: Madueke’s future at Arsenal is already decided!
