Arsenal have struggled to score consistently this season, and with both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Eddie Nketiah set to leave the club on free transfers this summer, addressing the striker issue is a priority for the club in the transfer window.
However, they have now managed to secure the long-term future of their top scorer at youth level in Khayon Edwards.
His excellent season had seen him catch the eye of a number of other clubs, including Chelsea and Brighton, who were all aware that his scholarship deal was ending, and that he was potentially available as a free agent in the coming months.
However, although injury has brought a premature end to his season, he has ended speculation about his immediate future by signing a professional contract with the Gunners which will keep him at the Emirates until 2025.
