Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract that keeps him at Arsenal until 2030, the club have confirmed. His deal includes an increase from his current £10m per year to £15m per year, plus an additional £5m in bonuses.
Arteta said the news marks “only the beginning” of Arsenal’s success. “This club is unique, its character and the way it makes you feel, and I have a great sense of privilege that our journey together will continue,” he told the club. “We have already built a special bond and created memories that will last a lifetime, and what is so exciting is that this is only the beginning of what we can achieve together.”
The 44-year-old has won the Premier League and FA Cup since arriving in December 2019, and took Arsenal to the Champions League final last season. His previous contract was set to expire at the end of this campaign.
Arsenal’s chief executive Richard Garlick said Arteta’s continued presence gives the club a competitive edge. “Mikel is the only manager that’s won the Premier League that’s currently managing in it,” Garlick said. “You look at all the other teams in the sort of traditional top six, and they’ve all gone through managerial changes.”
Co-chairmen Stan and Josh Kroenke added: “He has a deep understanding of Arsenal’s values and carries them in his heart. He knows what this club means to everyone connected to it and is committed to building on everything we have achieved together.”
