Episode 896: Mikel's big extension

In this episode I'm joined by Kaya Kaynak to discuss the big story of the week – Mikel Arteta's contract extension. We reflect on his time at the club, where we were, where we are now, how we got here, and the context of the work he's done since his arrival in 2019. We also chat about what the future holds with a manager who is ambitious and not just signing a new deal to let anyone, least of all himself, rest on their laurels. There's some focus on player contracts too, with Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, David Raya and Kai Havertz situations ready for action, as well as how some of the Arsenal players fared during the Interlull – in particular Viktor Gyokeres scoring four in a row for Sweden, and whether or not that puts him in the frame to start against Leeds on Saturday. All that, and much more.
