Mikel Arteta signs new Arsenal contract to stay until June 2030

Arteta arrived at Arsenal in 2019 and has won five trophies with the club, according to L'Équipe. His new contract comes after he led Arsenal to their first league title in 22 years, CBS Sports reported.

There was a contract deadline approaching. His previous deal was due to expire at the end of the season, which added urgency to the discussions, according to the BBC. The outlet described the agreement itself as unsurprising.

On October 7, 2026, Arsenal announced that Arteta had signed a new contract running until June 2030, according to GB News. That settles his future beyond the expiry of his previous agreement.

The financial commitment is substantial. CBS Sports reported on October 7 that the extension would make him the Premier League's highest paid manager. Guardian Sport described the four-year agreement as putting him among the best-paid managers in the world. The supplied coverage gives no salary figure.

Arteta framed the agreement as a platform for more success. Sky Sports carried his declaration, "We want a winning era", while Guardian Sport reported his promise that "this is only the beginning" of what he can achieve at Arsenal.

The contract is signed, not merely under discussion. Arsenal's manager is now committed until June 2030, with the club extending his tenure after a title-winning season, according to GB News.

If he remains through the agreement, Arteta is on track to become the third-longest serving manager in Arsenal's history, CBS Sports reported. That is a projection, rather than a milestone he has already reached.
