ARSENAL have agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal for Mikel
Arteta to take over as the new manager, according to reports.
It is understood the deal is almost completed and the Spaniard
is now set to be confirmed as compatriot Unai Emery’s
successor.
According to Football London,[1] the final
paperwork is being processed by lawyers.

But it is still unclear when the announcement will be made.
As revealed by SunSport, Arteta spent Tuesday afternoon
thrashing out a deal with the Gunners.
The Spaniard spent hours in talks with the club, where he had
further discussions with their hierarchy.
It is understood he laid out plans on how he sees the future of
the club and what direction he wants to take them in.
The 37-year-old had permission from Manchester City, who are
happy to let him achieve his dream of being a manager.
Arteta was told what has changed since he left Arsenal back in
2016, and the direction of the club.
The City assistant manager is expected to take the job and
ironically his first game looks set to be an away trip to his
former club Everton this weekend.
Ex-Rangers star Arteta was at training with City on Tuesday
before heading off in the afternoon.
It is not known whether or not he flew down with Pep Guardiola
and Co to face Oxford.
The Citizens face a Carabao Cup quarter-final with the League
One side at the Kassam Stadium.
