The new contract will extend Arteta's stay for at least 10 years following his arrival in December 2019. His salary increases from 10 million pounds per year to include a sharp pay rise plus additional bonuses.
Arteta wanted to stay
Arteta said last week that fans did not need to worry because he wanted to remain at the club. He expressed being extremely happy and grateful to work with the people at Arsenal.

Foundation stays in place
With Arteta's deal agreed, the foundation of Arsenal's recent revitalisation into a footballing force remains intact. The manager is committed to finding out what more history the club can achieve.
