EPL: Mikel Arteta Signs New Arsenal Deal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has agreed to a new three-year contract, ending speculation about his future, according to widespread reports on Thursday.

The 42-year-old, who has led the Gunners since 2019, was in the final year of his contract but had guided the team to back-to-back second-place finishes in the Premier League.

Last month, Arteta downplayed concerns about his contract, stating that his focus was on the transfer window.

The new contract extension comes just days before Arsenal’s Premier League showdown against London rivals Tottenham on Sunday.

Arteta, who took over from Unai Emery after leaving a coaching role at Manchester City, has revitalized Arsenal, turning them back into Premier League title contenders.

Under his leadership, the Gunners won the FA Cup in his first season and have twice finished as runners-up in the league, challenging Manchester City in thrilling title races.

Arsenal currently sit fourth in the Premier League with two wins and a draw and are set to begin their Champions League campaign next week against Atalanta.
