Arsenal Agree Deal For Promising Young Midfielder

Henri Lansbury has signed a new contract with Arsenal, dispelling rumours he was set for a transfer away from Emirates Stadium.

The England U21 international has been in remarkable goalscoring form in recent weeks, netting in the international break and on his debut for current loan club West Ham United.

“Everyone at Arsenal looks forward to Henri’s continued contribution with the Club in the coming seasons,” read an Arsenal statement.

Many were surprised at Lansbury being allowed to leave on loan in the summer, with Arsenal quickly short on midfielders with Jack Wilshere injured and Alexander Song and Emmanuel Frimpong earning early suspensions.

However, perhaps regular first team football with West Ham United is his best route to success, with quick development the hope with an eye on an Arsenal squad place next season.
