“Really talented” £150m player to be handed Arsenal contract..
Mikel Arteta will keep working as hard as he can to make sure that his Arsenal club can contend for the big trophies up for grabs, even as injuries are starting to take their toll.
Although the Spaniard faced some opposition early in his term, there doesn’t seem to be much disagreement about his suitability for the position at the moment.
Man City’s late-season stumble in 2022/23 prevented them from passing them in the final games of the season; otherwise, the club would have been celebrating its first English top-flight championship since The Invincibles season.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the players that helped the team so close to winning the championship have received new contracts.
According to the Daily Mirror, the next in line is Arsenal’s £50m defender, Ben White, a player described by Arteta in the Amazon All or Nothing documentary as “really talented” (h/t Daily Mirror).
What this new deal does is continue to strengthen the bond that the manager has with all of his young players, and gives everyone the stability that’s required for longer-term success.
There is a sense that success may be just around the horizon for Arsenal since the team is clearly headed in the right direction and Arteta has the full support of the board.
White can unwind in the confidence that he’ll continue to play a crucial role in that trip once a new contract is agreed and ratified.
