Chuba Akpom signs new long-term contract with Arsenal

Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom signs a new four-and-a-half-year deal with the club that will keep him at the Emirates until 2019.

Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom has signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract with the club.

The 19-year-old's old deal was due to expire in the summer, prompting plenty of interest from clubs in the Premier League and around Europe.

However, the Gunners have now tied the youngster down to a deal that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until 2019.

Akpom, who has previously spent loan spells with Brentford and Coventry City, is expected to be handed more game time over the second half of the season due to the January departures of Lukas Podolski, Yaya Sanogo and Joel Campbell.

The England youth international joined the club's academy in 2002 and has made seven senior appearances so far, five of which have come this season.
