Mikel Arteta agrees new Arsenal contract to secure his future – after he entered the last year of his deal

Mikel Arteta has signed a new three-year contract at Arsenal, extending his stay at the club until 2027.

The Spaniard, who replaced Unai Emery in December 2019, has transformed the Gunners from also-rans into genuine Premier League title challenge across his five years in charge.

His current deal was set to expire at the end of the current season, and the new contract brings an end to the uncertainty surrounding his future and gives Arsenal a huge boost ahead of this weekend’s north London derby.
