OFFICIAL: Mikel Arteta pens a fresh new deal with Arsenal

Mikel Arteta signs a three-year contract with the Gunners.

The Spaniard took over the charge in December 2019 and has now signed a three-year fresh contract that will keep him at the Emirates till 2025.

Arsenal is close to qualifying for the Champions League next season for the first time since 2017.

Mikel Arteta believes the timing of his new deal would give a ‘final push’ to his player who aims to secure Champions League qualification.

“I’m excited, grateful and really, really happy today,” Arteta said.

“When I spoke to Josh [Kroenke] he could see the club at the same point and he wanted to take the club the way I wanted to do it. So everything that he’s said, and that Stan has said when I’ve been together with both of them, they’ve always delivered.

“We want to take the club to the next level and to compete really with the top teams. In order to do that, we have to be playing in the Champions League. We have to be able to evolve the team, improve our players, improve all departments, generate even more connection with our fans, improve the atmosphere at the Emirates, be able to recruit top, top talent and the best people for this club to drive this project to that level.”
