Mikel Arteta calls for calm over his contract situation at Arsenal

NO STRESS: Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on the touchline during pre-season.

Mikel Arteta has told Arsenal fans not to panic about his contract with talks set to get under way once the summer transfer window shuts.

Arteta has entered the final 12 months of his deal at the Emirates and while he insisted last month fresh terms would not be an issue, no announcement has been forthcoming.
