By Editor • September 10, 2026 • 1 min read
Arsenal is on the brink of finalizing a new contract with manager Mikel Arteta, a move that underscores the club's confidence in his leadership as they look to build on recent successes.
As the transfer window remains closed until January, attention has shifted to securing Arteta's future at the Emirates Stadium. Sources close to the discussions reveal that negotiations have progressed positively, with both parties optimistic about reaching an agreement. Arteta himself expressed his commitment to the club, stating, "Everybody feels comfortable that the timing of the contract is not going to be an issue because my will certainly is to be here and I’m very happy here."
Arsenal's CEO Richard Garlick echoed this sentiment, suggesting that it is merely a "matter of time" before the new long-term deal is confirmed. Once finalized, Arteta is expected to be among the highest-paid managers globally, with his current £10 million-a-year contract set for a significant upgrade, especially given the club's recent achievements, including a Premier League title victory after a 22-year drought.
