Latest Arsenal news- The Gunners recently gave manager Mikel Arteta a contract extension that will now see him remain at the Emirates till the end of the 2024-25 season. This did not go down well with all fans, as some of them are still in their own bubble of self-inflicted misery.

While the management at the club and the owners were pleased with the extension, a section of displeased fans continue to rant. This did not hinder any plans that Arsenal had and the contract was signed. Both Arteta and FA WSL’s Arsenal Women coach Jonas Eidevall extend their contracts.

The Spaniard extend his stay at Arsenal till the end of the 2024-25 campaign, giving him a couple of additional years at the club. This made some of the fans unhappy, who were not pleased with the management and ownership after this latest Arsenal news.

Here are three reasons why Arsenal actually ended Mikel Arteta’s contract at this point in this season-

European Football Confirmed; Champions League Berth Possibly

Arsenal secured a European spot last week after they beat West Ham away from home. Though it is still not confirmed whether they will be playing the Champions League or the Europa League, it has to be one of the two now. This gave the board the boost to give Mikel Arteta the new contract, an extension that they feel he deserves.

With that being said, the latest Arsenal news coming in was all positive and now the win against Leeds, added more flare after Spurs drew with Liverpool. The Gunners have a four-point advantage over their rivals and if they did drop any points eventually and were knocked out of the top four, extending at the end of the campaign would have been inviting trouble.

Latest Arsenal News: Some Big Clubs Like Manchester City And PSG Might Be Considering Him As A Potential Option

With another potential league title nearly wrapped up by Pep Guardiola, the Cityzens might be looking to get a new manager if the Spaniard does decide to part ways in the upcoming seasons. Other contenders have also been in the picture with Barcelona previously wanting to sign Arteta.

Now, with Mauricio Pochettinho’s future in the balance, PSG might also want to sign the Spanish boss. He is well regarded in various leagues by some top teams. Whether they actually sign him or not, is a different thing. However, Arsenal is trying to protect their asset. It is exactly what a club with ambition does.

Players Are Happy; Dressing Room Mood Is Brilliant

The young guns of Arsenal are firing. Many of them have extended their contracts too. The celebrations post every win is making a lot of people jealous. The youngsters believe in the manager and are stepping up. Nothing feels better than to have a committed bunch of players trying to fight hard for what they deserve.

Though some rival fans and Pundits are complaining about how Arsenal is celebrating at present, those don’t really matter. The team is playing well and getting the job done. They are producing some brilliant results this season. A few records have been broken too and the atmosphere is really positive around the Emirates.

Ideally, the fans will want things to continue as they are at present. Let’s hope for the best!! COYG!!
