Mikel Arteta signs new Arsenal contract until 2030

Mikel Arteta has committed his future to Arsenal by signing a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2030. The agreement was officially announced by the Premier League champions on Wednesday.

The Spaniard's previous contract was due to expire at the end of the current season, but Arsenal have now secured the manager's long-term future after a highly successful period at the club.

Arteta took charge of Arsenal in December 2019, replacing Unai Emery. Since then, he has overseen the club's return to the top of English football, culminating in their first Premier League title in 22 years last season.

The 44-year-old also guided Arsenal to the Champions League final last season, although they lost to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties.

Arteta expressed his delight at extending his stay in north London and believes there is still much more to achieve with the club.

"It's a privilege to commit my future to the club and to continue to work with exceptional people who want the best for Arsenal," Arteta said.

"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."

Arsenal's co-chairs Stan and Josh Kroenke also welcomed the agreement, praising Arteta's understanding of the club's values and his role in the team's transformation.

Arteta has now secured his future at Arsenal until 2030 as the club look to build on their Premier League triumph and compete for further major honours.
