Overview

• The five-year agreement cements his stay at Arsenal until 2030 and reflects the club’s strategy of securing homegrown prospects.
• He has moved into the senior players’ changing room after Premier League age restrictions kept him separate until turning 18 in March.
• Last season he made 39 appearances and scored nine goals, joining Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney as the only teenagers to net three Premier League goals before 18.
• The 18-year-old turned down reported interest from Chelsea and German clubs to continue his development at Arsenal.
• Fellow academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly also signed a long-term contract this summer and 15-year-old Max Dowman earned Mikel Arteta’s praise following a pre-season friendly showing.
