Him signing a three years contract justifies his commitment and dedication towards the club. Arteta is looking for bigger challenges this season, after a thrilling campaign last season coming second, just behind Manchester City. Maybe he would focus harder to get his hand on the title this season. Last season the Gunners were so close yet so far. But with the new contract, Arteta’s confidence would be soaring the skies. And what’s more exciting is that he has already eyed his future transfer targets to get this team closer to title.
The statement Arteta gave out of joy and proudness after signing the new contract was, “I feel extremely proud, very excited and am looking forward to what is coming next.”.

He displayed his gratitude by Thanking everyone who supported him and have remained passionate about the club. Arteta believes that Arsenal could become a different team with players and fans coming together. And is ready to continue his journey with some new faces on board.
Arsenal Transfer Target
The summer transfer has been a positive take for the Gunner, as they were able to get Riccardo Calafiori, Mikel Merino, and Raheem Sterling on board. Yet Arteta doesn’t seem to stop here, There are reports, that suggests Arsenal manager is now eyeing Benjamin Sesko, Nico Williams and Jamal Musiala. These are the three young superstars, all below the age of 22, who have drawn the attention of every football club at the moment.
Starting off with Benjamin Sesko. The RB Liepzig striker, who decided to reject Arsenal’s offer this summer and stay at Germany. But Arteta isn’t letting him go so easily. He is a kind of footballer who has all the qualities to be a top star. He has speed, physicality and lethal finishing and this could be a huge boost for the Gunners.
Next in the line is Nico Williams, a stunning winger from Athletic Bilbao. His outstanding performance in the Euros 2024, helping Spain to win the tournament, had caught the eyes of various clubs. He is an absolute nightmare for the defenders, with the kind of speed and dribbling he possesses, he can break through any defence. These attributes make him a perfect inclusion for Arsenal, especially for the kind of football Arteta prefers.
And then last but not the least, it is Jamal Musiala. A versatile Bayern Munich player, who can play both on wings and mid field. His creativity and intelligence are his positive attributes, but it is his dribbling that makes him stand out. He is one of the cleanest dribblers in the world at the moment. And all these qualities combine to make him the most desirable pick for any club in Europe. For Arsenal, an inclusion of player like Jamal Musiala could give them a different touch in attack with multiple options.
Even though Arteta have settled for Raheem Sterling on loan from Chelsea this summer, he looks much more ambitious than that. He is looking towards the long term investment, a key signing for the years to come. But apart from all these players, Arteta is also looking for a defensive mid fielder, who will be a crucial part in the team in their title hunt.
Edu’s Confidence in Arteta
Arsenal’s sporting director, Edu was just as excited as the Arsenal fans about Arteta’s new contract. He acknowledged Arteta for his skills as a manager and his leadership quality. Edu also showed his fate on him by referring him as one of the key figures in shaping Arsenal’s future. He also believes that Arteta is the only one who can take this club to new heights. And now with the new contract, it would push him even more towards success. And maybe this can be a game changer and he actually leads Arsenal to the championship.
The road Ahead for Arsenal
Now the Arsenal fans seems to be over excited as they have secured Arteta for another three years. Arsenal’s future under his leadership looks brighter than ever before. With keeping players like Sesko, Williams and Musiala on radar, Arteta’s strategy seems to be very clear. He wants to secure the club’s future with the signing of young stars who can keep the club on top for years to come.
Even though Arsenal fell short in the last two season in the Premier League, the present scenario seems to be promising. With the new signing being expected as the missing pieces of puzzles, the fans believes they can take the club from title contenders to title winners.
