Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says he will start talks with the club over a new contract once the transfer window shuts next week.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he will open talks about a new contract with the club once the transfer window has closed.
Arteta's current contract expires at the end of this season but talks are not expected to be a problem and the 42-year-old has a good relationship with the club's hierarchy."We had quite a lot of things to do and discuss. We are on it and we will take care of that in the right moment." The Spaniard has been Arsenal manager since 2019 and has led the team to second-place finishes in the last two Premier League seasons.
"I am very grateful first of all for where I'm sitting and the people I work with every single day because it's really difficult to find that harmony, trust, belief and alignment in the vision," Arteta said. "It's something I always mention because I believe we still have an unbelievable time ahead of us. It's very exciting and I am very excited about it."The Gunners have been active in the transfer market, signing Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori in a deal worth £42m and selling Emile Smith Rowe to Fulham for a fee that could reach £34m.Arteta would not be drawn on the specifics of either deal but spoke about how the club must be ready to do business.
