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 22-year-old got his first chance to shine in the season starting from April. He took the opportunity very well, scoring five goals from eight appearances including a match-winning double against rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. He will be facing competition for the striker position if the Gunners can sign a new first team quality player, but will be a big player to watch for the coming years.
