This new agreement comes just ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League match against London rivals Tottenham on Sunday. Arteta, a former Arsenal player, took over from Unai Emery after leaving his coaching role at Manchester City. Since then, he has revitalised the club, making them serious title contenders once again.

In his first season, Arteta led the Gunners to victory in the FA Cup, and they have finished as runners-up in the Premier League for the last two seasons, engaging in thrilling title battles against Manchester City.

Currently, Arsenal sits fourth in the league table after two wins and a draw and is set to begin its Champions League campaign next week against Atalanta.
