“I hope I win some trophies with this club, because I love this club and my family loves the club, too.

“Arsenal is an amazing club and I’m so proud to sign a new contract.

“I love this club, I love the supporters, my team-mates, I love this stadium.

“I’m so proud and thank you for all the support. We continue together for the future.”
