Arsenal have secured manager Mikel Arteta on a long‑term deal, with the Spaniard signing a contract that runs until 2030. His growing authority at the club includes overseeing transfer policy, the ongoing Emirates stadium redevelopment and even the addition of a training‑ground Labrador, Win, who joined the staff in May 2023.

His influence extends to the squad, with key figures such as Kai Havertz, goalkeeper David Raya and midfielder Mikel Merino all operating under his direction. Artura’s command, often delivered in Spanish, has become a defining feature of Arsenal’s modern era, reinforcing his position as the club’s primary decision‑maker.
