Premier League champions Arsenal have agreed an
improved contract with manager Mikel Arteta, the BBC
reported on Tuesday.
Arteta's deal was due to expire at the end of the
season and negotiations over an extension had
been ongoing
for several months.
Arsenal co-chair Josh Kroenke
said in May that securing Arteta's future was the
club's priority after the Spaniard guided the
North London side to their first league title in 22 years last
season.
Reuters has contacted Arsenal for
comment.
Arteta reiterated his commitment to the club this
year
amid speculation over his future.
The 44-year-old Spaniard has transformed Arsenal
since taking charge in 2019, ending the club's long
wait for
a
Premier League crown last season after three runners-up finishes in
a row.
Arsenal have made a
strong
start to their title defence, winning their opening four league matches before suffering
a
3-0 defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
