Arsenal announced on Thursday morning the Spaniard had signed a new deal keeping him at the club until 2027.
Arteta’s new deal is said to be worth £30m and he will be hoping to end Arsenal’s wait of over 20 years for a Premier League title having gone close over the last two seasons,
Arteta targeting two signings
The Gunners weren’t the busiest this summer but still made four signings in Mikel Merino, Raheem Sterling, Riccardo Calafiori and backup goalkeeper Neto.
Arsenal didn’t sign a centre forward which many felt was needed if they are to beat City to the title this season.
Gabriel Jesus isn’t a prolific goalscorer and has suffered with injury issues during his time at the club, whilst Kai Havertz has done a good job following his arrival from Chelsea last summer.
Mikel Arteta applauds Arsenal fans.
Arteta signed a new three year deal keeping him the Emirates until 2027.
The Gunners were strongly linked with Benjamin Sesko earlier this summer before the striker decided to remain at RB Leipzig and it could be argued the Gunners lack firepower in their squad.
It seems the club agree and The Times have reported Arteta wants to bring in a “unique” attacking player in the next two transfer windows.
It’s unclear who that might be and the Gunners could look to go back in for Sesko, whilst the report also mentioned Nico Williams and Jamal Musiala have been looked at.
