According to the Sun, the Gunners are set to hand Arteta a bumper pay rise with a new £8.3million-a-year deal this summer. Arteta has 16 months of his contract to run and the club are eager to secure his long-term future at the Emirates.
Arsenal owner, Stan Kroenke is keen to emphasise his confidence in the Spaniard by sanctioning a three-year agreement which will be worth £25m for the Premier League’s youngest boss.

Arteta’s current salary of £5m a year does not even begin to compare with his former Manchester City mentor Pep Guardiola, who is on £20m a year at the Etihad.
New Spurs boss Antonio Conte and Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp are both paid around £15m per year and even Leicester’s Brendan Rodgers currently pockets around double Arteta’s annual salary.
