Pep Guardiola has signed a new contract with Manchester City that will see the Spaniard remain with the Premier League champions through until at least 2025. Arsenal look on knowing that Guardiola will be scheming their demise as his side try to close the five-point gap to the Gunners at the top of the table.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, a former colleague and understudy to Guardiola, is beyond all else a good friend and his former tutor has been persistently complimentary of his ex-student. Yet it is somewhat stunning how quickly Arteta has helped his Arsenal side catch and move above, as things stand, Manchester City.
With Guardiola signing his new deal, the continuation of the Spaniard will of course have permutations beyond his own club. football.london takes a look at how Arsenal will be affected by the renewal.
