Mikel Arteta agrees new long-term contract with Arsenal: Reports

Premier League champions Arsenal have agreed an ​improved contract with manager ‌Mikel Arteta, the BBC reported ​on Tuesday.

Arteta’s deal ⁠was due to expire at the end of the season and ‌negotiations over an extension had been ongoing ‌for several months.

Arsenal co-chair ‌Josh ⁠Kroenke said in ⁠May that securing Arteta’s future was the club’s priority after the Spaniard ​guided the ‌North London side to its first league title in 22 years last season.

Arteta reiterated his commitment to the club this ⁠year amid speculation over his future.

The 44-year-old Spaniard has ‌transformed Arsenal since taking charge in 2019, ending the club’s long wait for a Premier League crown last season after three ‌runners-up finishes in a row.

Arsenal ​has made a strong start to its title ⁠defence, winning its opening four ⁠league matches before suffering a 3-0 defeat by ‌Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
