His current contract, which earns him £9 million-per-year, is set to expire next summer and the club’s bosses are keen to fend off potential interest from elsewhere.
Since taking charge of Arsenal in December 2019, Arteta has overseen more than 230 matches across all competitions, winning 140 games and losing 57 times.
It is claimed that there is confidence among all parties that an agreement over a new deal can be reached, with Arteta likely to be one of the Premier League’s highest paid managers once he signs his new deal.
Prior to taking charge at The Emirates, Arteta worked as Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola’s assistant.
