“I’m delighted, appreciative, and really pleased today,” the 40-year-old said on the club’s website. “When I met with (director) Josh (Kroenke), he could see the club at the same place that I saw. And he wanted to take the club in the direction I wanted to take it.” So, whatever he’s stated, and everything (owner) Stan (Kroenke) has said, they’ve consistently delivered while I’ve been with both of them.”
Arteta led Arsenal win the FA Cup in the 2019-20 season, defeating Chelsea in the final. Last season, in his first full season in command, the Spaniard led the team to eighth place in the league.
