Mikel Arteta has given his strongest hint yet that he will sign a new deal with Arsenal, insisting he "doesn't foresee any problems" during negotiations.

The 42-year-old's current deal expires in the summer of 2025, and talks were initially expected to take place at the end of last season. However, all sides have prioritized planning for the next campaign and Arteta has brought together nine players who are not involved in either Euro 2024 or the Copa América for their summer training camp in Marbella.

Speaking to ESPN from the Spanish city in an exclusive interview, Arteta said: \"There is no news [on his contract] at the moment. What hasn't changed is how happy I am, how valuable I feel here and how much I love representing this club.

"Things happened naturally, we have a very good relationship, and I don't foresee any problems. But things have to be developed in the right way and will happen.

Arteta continues to advertise whether his future clarity will help to prove the stability of the future contract: \ "I know, but now the focus is on" well as we improve things around the team as we improve the current thing we, we improve the current thing can improve current things.

Sources said ESPN that Arsenal monitors Broken Calafiori, but has not taken any new activities on the market.

Before the Slovenian striker signed a new contract, the North London club has always been interested in Benjamin Cesco's living in Leipzig. Possible industry. With the new rules, there are things we have to respect and pay attention to, and then the European Cup and Copa America obviously slow everything down. Hopefully things will improve now because we still have a lot to do and we will try to deliver as much as we can.

"How active do we expect to be? I think both ways. There are things that we have to improve, that\'s for sure and we are going to try to do. But the market is tricky. We have been very aggressive, we are very determined and we have a clear idea obviously of what we want to do. It's all about finding the right protocol at the right time.

Arsenal will start pre-season on July 24 against Bournemouth.

Arteta's side travel to Los Angeles later this month to face Manchester United at the SoFi Stadium on July 27, before taking on Liverpool in Philadelphia on July 31.
