Mikel Arteta has revealed he will sign a new Arsenal contract and there is no need for fans to be worried about his future.

Arteta has entered the final year of his contract with the Premier League champions - despite co-chairman Josh Kroenke saying in May that a new deal was an "upmost priority" of the club.

But Arteta says he and the club will come together to "resolve" a contract extension in "an organic way" - because he is happy at the club, and his bosses appear happy with him.
