Mikel Arteta is set to become the highest-paid manager in Premier League history with the award of a new contract at Arsenal.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke confirmed that talks are ongoing for the boss to sign a new deal at the Emirates, with all parties confident of reaching an agreement soon.

Arteta, 42, has secured the backing of the Arsenal chiefs after back-to-back second-placed finishes.

The recently completed season saw the Gunners record their highest goals scored, most clean sheets and highest points total in a league season.

This comes shortly after Football Insider revealed that Arteta is expected to sign a new deal at the Emirates before the beginning of next season.

Arsenal set to award Mikel Arteta with record-breaking deal
Arteta took charge of Arsenal in 2019 and has been credited with a complete overhaul of the club on and off the pitch.

Questions had been asked about his management as he oversaw back-to-back eighth-placed finishes in 2019-20 and 2020-21, but steady progress has seen his side transformed into regular title challengers.

The boss has taken charge of 171 Arsenal games, overseeing 103 wins, 27 draws and 41 defeats.

The culture of the club has been reshaped, with an ambitious view for the future and the present being backed up by the owners in the transfer market, after Football Insider revealed three new signings are on their radar.

Steady progress both on and off the pitch has helped Arteta’s reputation grow and he is now seen as untouchable by the Arsenal board.

His current deal is set to expire at the end of the 2024-25 campaign after an extension was signed in 2021, but a new deal is on the table to extend his stay.

Man City boss Pep Guardiola is the current highest-paid Premier League manager, earning a reported £18.4million per year, with Arteta set to eclipse his former colleague.

In other news, Aaron Ramsdale has been tipped for a shock move to Liverpool.
