Mikel Arteta agrees new deal with champions Arsenal

Mikel Arteta has reached an agreement on a new contract with Premier League champions Arsenal, extending his tenure at the club. The Spanish midfielder's current deal was set to conclude at the end of the season, but negotiations for a fresh contract had been ongoing for months. BBC Sport had earlier this month reported that an agreement was nearing completion.

Arteta has now finalized his contract extension with the Gunners, ensuring his continued presence at the club for at least another decade, following his arrival in December 2019. While the exact length of his new deal has not been disclosed, it is anticipated to provide him with a significant salary increase, currently earning £10m annually, plus an additional £5m in bonuses.

When questioned about the contract talks, Arteta reassured fans, stating his commitment to the club and the people he collaborates with, expressing his contentment and gratitude.
