Mikel Arteta and Arsenal
22 September 2026
Arsenal have reached a final agreement with Mikel Arteta on an improved contract, extending the manager’s stay beyond his current deal, which expires at the end of the season. The new terms are also set to include a significant pay rise.
Talks had been running for months after an earlier report said an agreement was close. The exact contract length has not been confirmed, but the deal is expected to keep Arteta at Arsenal into at least his 10th year with the club.
