Arsenal are reportedly closing in on an agreement to extend manager Mikel Arteta's contract at the Emirates Stadium, according to reports from Complete Sports.

Arteta, who signed his previous extension in September 2024, is currently approaching the final phase of his existing agreement, which is due to expire at the conclusion of the ongoing campaign.

The Gunners hierarchy is keen to eliminate any uncertainty regarding the managerial position and solidify their long-term project under the Spanish tactician. Arteta has overseen significant structural and tactical progress in north London, establishing the side as consistent contenders at the summit of English football.

Securing Arteta to fresh terms represents a key priority for Arsenal's leadership. Both parties are understood to be eager to finalise terms that will keep the manager committed to guiding the club through their next cycle of domestic and European ambitions.

While talks are progressing, formal confirmation has not yet been announced by the club. Resolving the contract situation ahead of crucial fixture blocks remains a strategic focus for the Arsenal board, ensuring stability across the first-team setup.
