Arsenal has officially announced that attacker Eddie Nketiah has signed a new contract with the club.
The 23-year-old had a fantastic Premier League season, scoring five goals in 21 games.
In the latter half of the season, he was on fire, scoring four goals in five games, including a brace against Chelsea.
Nketiah, who had been hesitant to extend his contract with the London-based club, has finally signed on the dotted line.
Coach Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu spoke about Eddie Nketiah’s new contract.
“I’m delighted Eddie is staying with us,” Arteta said. “He represents what we are all about and all the values of the club. We are very happy that he has extended his contract and now we have to get to work and continue to develop the great talent and person that we have in him.”
“The foundations of this squad are built on young talent and in particular those who have come through our Academy system,” Edu added.
“Eddie was released by another club as a young man but has always shown he has the attitude as well as the ability to become a top player. The fact he’s signed a new contract is an important part of our squad planning for next season and we’re all delighted.”
Nketiah was released by Chelsea in 2015, he then joined the Arsenal Academy and played for the club at youth levels.
