Mikel Arteta has previously said that he loves his role with Arsenal amid claims of a new contract offer.
The Sun have claimed that the Spaniard is set to be offered an extended deal at the Emirates Stadium with the club hierarchy having been left impressed with his work in north London so far.
It is suggested that a new deal would bring with it a significant pay rise - wages that would see him match that pay packet that iconic Gunners manager Arsene Wenger was receiving during his final season in charge at the Emirates Stadium.
