Coach Mikel Arteta has just signed a new contract with Arsenal, extending his stay until 2027. Committing to at least three more years with the Gunners, Arteta will see a significant increase in his salary from the previous £9 million per year.
According to sources, Arteta’s new salary is approaching the £20 million mark that Pep Guardiola earns at Manchester City. Excited and proud during the signing ceremony, Arteta commented, “I feel incredibly proud, very excited, and I am looking forward to what is coming next.
I am extremely fortunate to work with such fantastic colleagues who share the same ambition here at Emirates. Along with the players and club members, we are eager to improve and transform the club, especially in terms of its emotional aspects…”
This news comes as a boost for Arsenal fans ahead of the North London derby against Tottenham this Sunday (15/9). The new deal should also alleviate concerns about Arteta’s future, which had been speculated upon with rumors linking him to a potential move to Barcelona.
