Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract with Arsenal, extending his stay at the club until 2030, the London-based club announced on October 7. The 44-year-old Spanish midfielder had previously been due to leave at the conclusion of the ongoing season. Arteta expressed his delight at committing his future to Arsenal and working alongside "exceptional people who want the best for the club."

The Spaniard has been instrumental in Arsenal's resurgence, leading them to their first league title in 22 years during his tenure, which began in December 2019. Arteta also guided the team to their first Champions League final in two decades last season, though they were defeated by Paris Saint-Germain on penalties.

Currently sitting in second place in the Premier League, Arsenal trails leaders Manchester City by three points following a surprising 3-0 loss to Brighton before the international break. Arsenal co-chairs Stan and Josh Kroenke shared their excitement for the future, emphasizing the club's shared bond with Arteta. They expressed pride in the achievements made since his arrival in 2019 and their determination to create more memorable moments in the years ahead.
