Mikel Arteta has admitted Arsenal must be playing in the Champions League if he wants to take the club to the next level after the Spaniard signed a new long-term deal on Friday morning.
The Gunners currently sit in fourth spot, two points ahead of north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur with four games to go. Third-place Chelsea are not completely out of the mix either, but are still likely to finish inside the top-four given their remaining fixtures and points gap.
Ahead of Arsenal's clash with Leeds United this weekend, Arteta has penned a new contract which will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until the end of the 2024/25 season. This will take the Spaniard's reign to over five years after he replaced Unai Emery in December 2019.
