Arsenal’s co-chair Josh Kroenke says agreeing a new contract for manager Mikel Arteta is the club’s “utmost priority.” The comments come after Arteta leads the club to its first Premier League title in 22 years. Arteta’s current deal runs until the end of next season, and the owners indicate they intend to extend it. In recent remarks, Arteta said he is fully committed to Arsenal, reinforcing the clubs’ push to secure his future. Sky Sports reports that the Kroenke family owners have confirmed they will make the contract renewal a top matter, while other outlets repeat that the contract is focused on extending Arteta beyond his current term. No specific length of extension, financial details, or timing for agreement is provided in the reports. Overall, the coverage converges on the same point: Arsenal’s leadership treats an Arteta extension as a priority following the club’s recent Premier League success.
