Mikel Arteta agrees contract extension expected to keep him at Arsenal until 2030

Mikel Arteta has reached a verbal agreement to extend his contract with Arsenal, with the new deal expected to keep him at the club until 2030. His current three-year contract, signed in September 2024, was set to expire at the end of this season, and negotiations intensified following Arsenal's league title win in May. The extension includes a significant pay rise on his current £10 million-a-year salary.
