Arteta signs new contract with champions Arsenal

Manager Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract with Premier League champions Arsenal, committing to the club until 2030, according to BBC Sport. The Spaniard's agreement comes after an earlier reported deal, with his time in charge now potentially extending to a decade since arriving in December 2019. The new contract includes a salary increase from his current £10m per year and an additional £5m in bonuses.

Arteta stated, "This club is unique, its character and the way it makes you feel, and I have a great sense of privilege that our journey together will continue." He added, "We have already built a special bond and created memories that will last a lifetime, and what is so exciting is that this is only the beginning of what we can achieve together."

Arteta's arrival at Arsenal has provided the team with a competitive edge, as the club currently has the only Premier League-winning manager. Richard Garlick, Arsenal's chief executive, believes this factor will give them an advantage over other teams in the league. With Arteta's contract extension, Arsenal is positioned for sustained success, with the club's co-chairmen Stan and Josh Kroenke expressing their pride in Arteta's commitment to building on their achievements.
