“I feel extremely proud, very excited and am looking forward to what is coming next. I’m proud to be where I am and have the relationships that I have with everyone at the club,” Arteta said while speaking to Arsenal’s official website.

New deal ahead of North London derby

On Sunday, Arsenal are set to face arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League for the first time this season. The new deal will come as an added incentive if Arsenal are able to beat their North London rivals on their own turf for the third consecutive season. Arsenal beat Spurs at the back end of last season to stay in the title race while derailing their opponents’ hopes of a top-four finish. They also won in January 2023 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and will be looking for another win on enemy territory on Sunday.

Arteta has so far enjoyed his stint as the Gunners' manager helping them win the FA Cup in 2020 while he has been instrumental in the club’s return as a big powerhouse in English and European football. The new deal also means the club will invest in his ideas with an aim to win the Premier League while attempting to go further in the Champions League.
