Arsenal are reportedly in advanced talks with manager Mikel Arteta over a new long-term contract.
The 42-year-old was appointed Gunners boss in December 2019 after just over three years working as an assistant coach under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
Arteta won the FA Cup in his first season at Arsenal and has since transformed the club into one of the strongest teams in the Premier League that have mounted a serious challenge for the title in the last two campaigns.
After finishing second and five points behind champions Man City in 2022-23, Arsenal took an enthralling title race to the final day of the 2023-24 season, but they once again came up short and finished two points behind the Citizens at the summit.
Nevertheless, the progress made under Arteta is evident since the Spaniard’s arrival, and Arsenal seemingly have plans to keep hold of their head coach for the long term.
