Arteta agrees new deal with champions Arsenal

Mikel Arteta has recently agreed to a new, improved contract with Premier League champions Arsenal. The Spaniard's current deal is set to expire at the end of the season, but negotiations over a new agreement have been ongoing for several months. BBC Sport reported earlier this month that a final agreement between all parties was imminent.

It is now confirmed that Arteta has reached an agreement with the Gunners to extend his stay at the club until at least his 10th year at the Emirates, following his arrival in December 2019. The specifics of the new contract, including its exact length, have not been disclosed. However, it will include a significant salary increase from his current £10 million per year, with an additional £5 million in bonuses.

Arteta expressed his happiness with his decision to stay, stating that he wants to be at the club and is grateful for the opportunity to work with his teammates.
