Arteta signs new contract with champions Arsenal

Mikel Arteta has inked a new contract with Premier League champions Arsenal, committing to the club until 2030. The Spaniard's deal was reportedly made earlier this month, extending his time with the Gunners from the end of the current season to a potential decade following his arrival in December 2019. Arteta's new contract includes a salary increase from his current £10 million per year to £15 million per year, plus an additional £5 million in bonuses.

The Arsenal boss emphasized that this is only the beginning of the club's success, stating that building a dynasty is what drives his decision to stay. Arteta's previous contract was set to expire at the end of the season, which added urgency to the discussions, but he had been transparent about his desire to remain at the club beyond this campaign.

Co-chairmen Stan and Josh Kroenke expressed their pride in Arteta's achievements since his return to the club in 2019 and acknowledged his deep understanding of Arsenal's values. With the new contract agreed upon, the foundation of Arsenal's recent revitalization into a top European football force remains secure, and Arteta remains committed to finding out what more history awaits.
