Mikel Arteta makes Arsenal contract decision

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has committed his future to the Gunners by agreeing to a fresh long-term contract.

The Spanish tactician has been with the Gunners since December 2019, and he has transformed the club into a powerhouse.

Arsenal ended their 22-year wait for the Premier League title last term, and they are favourites to repeat the feat this season.

Arteta has always said he is keen to prolong his managerial career at Arsenal, and he has now agreed to an improved deal.

His coaching staff are also close to extending their contracts, and it is a matter of time before a formal announcement is made regarding this.

Arsenal suffered a surprise and humbling 3-0 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League before the international break.

The Gunners have fallen three points behind league leaders Manchester City as a result, but they are much fancied to defend their crown.

Arsenal host Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium next.
