Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remains at ease regarding his contract status, expressing optimism that an agreement with the club will be reached, according to Football.London.
Arteta's current contract is set to expire next summer, and while no new terms have been finalized, the Spaniard remains focused on his role at Emirates Stadium.
Since taking over from Unai Emery in 2019, Arteta has significantly transformed Arsenal's fortunes.
Under his management, the team has evolved from underperformers to serious title contenders, narrowing the competitive gap with Manchester City.
Now entering his fifth full season, Arteta's impact on the club has been evident.
Arsenal fans are eager for Arteta to extend his stay, hoping for continued progress under his guidance. However, negotiations over a new contract have yet to yield a definitive outcome.
Speaking to ESPN, Arteta shared his perspective: "No, there is no update at the moment. The thing that hasn't changed is how happy I am and how valued I feel here and how much I love representing this club."
He added, "Things happen in a natural way and our relationship is that good that I don't predict any issues happening. But things have to develop in the right way and it will happen."
The uncertainty surrounding Arteta's contract comes amid broader managerial changes in the Premier League.
Liverpool have parted ways with their coach, Jurgen Klopp, and there are concerns that Manchester City's Pep Guardiola might also step down when his contract expires.
