The club announced on Thursday that Arteta has signed a new deal with improved terms, a move reported by both BBC Sport and the Athletic. The agreement is understood to extend his tenure well into the next ten years, providing stability after the Gunners ended a 22‑year wait for the league crown.
Speaking about the contract, Arteta said, “I think we are all very much aligned; whenever the time is right, we’ll get that done. There is nothing to be concerned about. I don’t know if the timing will be the same or different, I think we both have the same ambition and the same will, so whenever we have time we’ll get that resolved.”
The new deal comes as Arsenal continue to shape their squad ahead of the January transfer window. The club recently confirmed the signing of striker Vincent Joseph as part of a renewed focus on youth recruitment, and they remain active in the market despite the summer window having closed three weeks ago.
While the manager’s contract is now secured, speculation continues around potential incoming players. Spanish media claim that Barcelona have shifted their focus away from Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, opening a possible loan route for the Brazilian in January. Arsenal have also been linked with Feyenoord midfielder Gjivai Zechiel and right‑back Givairo Read, both of whom have attracted interest from other Premier League clubs.
Arteta’s renewed contract is seen as a vote of confidence from the board, aligning with the club’s ambition to build on last season’s success while addressing the squad gaps highlighted by a recent defeat to Brighton.
