Arsenal icon Ian Wright has praised the club for extending the contract of both Mikel Arteta and Jonas Eidevall. Arteta’s new deal for the men’s team runs until 2025, while Eidevall’s contract expires in 2024.
The Spaniard has guided his young squad to fourth in the Premier League, in pole position to claim the final Champions League place for next season. There’s still plenty of work for them to do, but it has shown an upturn in form since their back-to-back eighth-placed finishes.
On the new deal, the 40-year-old said: “We want to take the club to the next level and to compete really with the top teams. In order to do that, we have to be playing in the Champions League.
