Mikel Arteta says he wants to be at Arsenal and will “resolve” his contract situation despite not yet extending his deal which expires in 2027.The Arsenal manager’s last contract extension was a three-year deal signed in September 2024.Entering a new season without fresh terms agreed, he said: “They (the fans) don’t have to worry about any of that, because I want to be here. I am extremely happy. I feel very grateful to work with the people that I work with and when we have the possibility, we will resolve that. And that’s it.”His current deal being confirmed in September was timely as it came after the transfer window closed and during the first international break of the season.On whether the busy nature of the summer transfer window makes finalising a new contract more realistic after the deadline, he added: “There is always another priority, I think! And that’s the way we have been treating it, I think because everybody feels comfortable that the time on the contract is not going to be an issue.“My will, certainly, is to be here and I am very happy here. My feeling from the club is the same one. That is why everyone is doing things in a really organic way.”How Arteta's 'astonishing' man-management guided Arsenal to Premier League gloryCharlie EccleshareTalks have been in progress since early this year, but when Arsenal first approached Arteta’s representatives, his preference was to wait until the end of the 2025-26 season.
