Mikel Arteta is to sign a new one-year deal at Arsenal, the Metro have reported.
The 32year-old Arsenal captain has agreed in principal, a new, and improved deal, with an option of another possible year at the Emirates Stadium.
Arteta, who signed for Arsenal from Everton in the summer of 2011, has struggled with niggling injuries over the last few seasons, and is currently out injured, having picked up a hamstring injury in a recent Champions League game against Anderlecht.
It is thought that Arteta will gain a significant pay rise upon the new deal at Arsenal.
