Mikel Arteta’s new contract with Arsenal is “only a matter of time”, according to the club’s CEO Richard Garlick.
Arteta is entering the final 12 months of his deal, having last signed an extension in September 2024.
But, having guided the Gunners to the Premier League title last season, Arteta is poised to commit his long-term future to the club.
“Mikel wants to be at Arsenal, we want Mikel at Arsenal,” Garlick said in quotes reported by the BBC and The Athletic.
“It’s only a matter of time before we put that into a new contract. Everyone is very confident and calm. We’re just navigating a transfer window and I’m sure Mikel’s contract will be resolved very shortly.”
