Mikel Arteta has insisted he is "happy" at Arsenal with the Gunners boss now in his final 18 months of his contract at the Emirates Stadium.

Arteta is looking to guide Arsenal back into the UEFA Champions League with a top four this season, with the north Londoners currently within four points of Manchester United in fourth, having played three matches less than their rivals.

The Spaniard was appointed as Gunners manager in December 2019 and there has been clear evidence of a progression within the squad.

As reported last month, Arsenal are set to offer their manager a new contract at the end of the current season.

The Arsenal boss was asked about his contract situation in his pre-match press conference on Wednesday morning, and he insisted he was happy right now.

He said: "It is just that I am really happy here and my aim is to build with the club a winning team that when we watch it feels identifiable and that can transmit what we want football-wise and as an organisation.

"I am happy with the direction we’re taking, but I’m not happy with where we are that is for sure because we want to be competing and challenging with the best teams in this
