Mikel Arteta signs three-year Arsenal contract extension - ESPN

12.09.2024 - 12:50 espn.com

Mikel Arteta has signed a new three-year contract to remain as Arsenal manager, the club announced on Thursday. ESPN reported the news earlier on Thursday, with sources adding the Spaniard will receive a significant increase on his existing £9 million-a-year ($11.7m) salary.

The 42-year-old's contract was due to expire next summer, although he told ESPN in an exclusive interview on July 4 that he didn't «predict any issues happening» when extension talks took place and last month added that all parties would address the situation when the transfer window closed.

Arsenal have always been confident that Arteta would commit his future to the club but the news will still come as a boost as they try to topple Manchester City and win their first Premier League title since 2004.

Arsenal have finished second to City in each of the past two seasons and sought to close the gap by adding Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino over the summer, in addition to the late loan arrival of Raheem Sterling from Chelsea.

John Stones Salvages Point For Manchester City Against 10-Man Arsenal

John Stones' 98th-minute equaliser salvaged a 2-2 draw for Manchester City against 10-man Arsenal in a bad-tempered clash between the two favourites for the Premier League title on Sunday. Arsenal played the entire second half a man down after Leandro Trossard was sent off but were seconds away from inflicting City's first home defeat since November 2022. A draw is enough for City to retake top spot, two points clear of Arsenal in fourth. Erling Haaland's 100th City goal had given Pep Guardiola's men the perfect start. Arsenal turned the game around thanks to Riccardo Calafiori's wonder strike and another set-piece header from Gabriel Magalhaes.
