A decision has reportedly been made on Mikel Arteta's Arsenal future following their crushing Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal were eliminated from the Champions League following their 3-1 aggregate defeat to PSG.

The French side beat their English counterparts 1-0 at the Emirates in last week's first-leg before securing a 2-1 victory on home soil.

Fabian Ruiz opened the scoring in Wednesday's second-leg before Achraf Hakimi doubled his side's advantage. Bukayo Saka pulled one back.

It's another trophyless season for Arsenal, who are currently second in the Premier League table.

Despite Arteta's lack of silverware in recent years, his future is not in doubt - well, for now.

That's according to The Daily Mail, who claim Arteta is not 'in any sort of sack race' at Arsenal.

But the report states the 43-year-old 'should be feeling the heat' amid another campaign without a major trophy.

They also referenced Arteta's enormous spending at Arsenal, which includes the £105 million signing of Declan Rice from West Ham United.

The report read: "Arteta will point to progress but he has spent handsomely - north of £600million - and on his watch both Manchester City and Liverpool have won the league, with Arsenal’s title challenge becoming meeker and meeker.

"He has taken Arsenal from eighth in his first season to within touching distance of the Champions League final and made them a stable presence in the top four, but Arteta needs to start winning things."

Arteta has only won one FA Cup since his Arsenal appointment in December 2019.

He guided his team to FA Cup glory in the 2019/20 season.

Arteta appears set to oversee Arsenal when the summer transfer window reopens and he insists the club are ready for a 'big' summer with new sporting director Andrea Berto on board following his arrival.

On Berto joining Arsenal, he said: "Yes, I think it's a big addition to the club, a big addition to the team. A team that is already formed with a lot of great people.

"Richard [Garlick] leading it, obviously. But as well with James [King], with Jason [Ayto], with a lot of people at the club that have been doing such good work."

On Arsenal's summer plans, the Spaniard added: "The way we planned the five first summers (since I took charge), they were going to be very big and they were going to have different objectives because the turnaround of players and the objective of those windows was different.

"Now we want to increase the depth of the squad, but as well we want to increase the quality and the skills that we need to go to the next step. It's going to be a big one and we are very excited about it."
