Mikel Arteta has finalized an improved contract with Premier League champions Arsenal, signaling the Spanish midfielder's commitment to stay with the club for at least the next ten years. Arteta's existing deal was set to conclude at the end of this season, but ongoing negotiations have now reached a successful conclusion. While the exact term of the new contract has not been disclosed, it is anticipated to extend his tenure at the club beyond his current 10-year mark, commencing from his arrival in December 2019.

Arteta's financial package includes a significant salary increase, rising from his current £10 million per year to an unspecified higher figure, accompanied by an additional £5 million in bonuses. In discussions about his contract negotiations, Arteta expressed his contentment with the club, reassuring fans that his decision to extend his stay was not driven by financial considerations alone.
