Arsenal are reported to be close to finalising a new contract with manager Mikel Arteta. Multiple outlets say talks between the club and the Spaniard are progressing and that an agreement is at an advanced stage.
The reports describe the deal as a contract extension for Arteta, with at least one outlet stating it is intended to be long term. The coverage does not provide specific financial terms, contract length, or timelines, and it does not indicate any competing offers or reasons for the negotiations. Arsenal’s status as Premier League champions is cited in some reporting, framing the move as part of the club’s planning for the period ahead.
Differences across outlets are limited, with all accounts relying on similar language about proximity to an agreement. None of the sources included direct quotes from Arteta or Arsenal in the material provided, so the reporting remains based on claims that negotiations are moving in the club’s favour.
