One subject that hasn’t been discussed enough is Mikel Arteta’s future, with fans overlooking that he will be out of contract at the end of this season.
He said, as quoted by Give Me Sport:
“Mikel Arteta’s contract extension is taking a little longer than expected because it is a big deal, with him approaching the highest salary for a coach in the Premier League, if not the highest.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Keeping Arteta is a no-brainer, and we believe he also wants to remain at the club, so there is no reason to panic.

He’s a little busy right now.
I have no fears at all.
The man is happy at the club, and the owners like what he is doing.
So once the dust settles on preseason and transfers, we should be hearing more about the subject in a positive way
I think (and hope) he’ll sign a new contract but when he does become the highest paid coach (or very near it anyway) then KSE will expect – rightly of course – that success by way of trophies must follow.
KSE have backed Arteta already with over £700m of transfer spending since 2019 and ongoing as we’ve seen. Now there’s the likelihood of a very generous contract renewal on top of that.
In the sometimes-brutal world of professional football, I think it will very soon be payback time with trophies needed to keep the solitary FA Cup won by Arteta so far company in the Arsenal trophy room.
