Arsenal are drawing up a new contract offer for manager Mikel Arteta.
Arteta is set to be handed a new two-year deal by Arsenal with the club determined to fend off interest from Manchester City.
The 39-year-old, who spent time as Pep Guardiola's No2 at the Etihad, is tied down at the Emirates until 2023.
The Daily Mail says Arteta will be offered a new contract before the end of the season.
They state that the ex-Everton midfielder is happy at the club and will welcome talks to extend his stay.
And any extension will see him being handed a pay rise on his £5million-a-year salary in North London.
