Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has apologised to the club’s fans for it taking so long for him to sign a new contract.
The 18-year-old has burst onto the scene this season, but there were fears he could leave as his old deal expired in a year’s time.
Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool were interested in the winger, but he eventually ended speculation by signing a four-year contract with Arsenal on Wednesday.
And Saka told Arsenal Digital: “I just want to say that I'm sorry it's taken this long, you know. I’ve seen how much it means to the fans.
“Over this time I've seen how passionate they are, how loving they are and it just means everything to me that I can make them happy. I just hope I can continue to do that.
“I want to thank them for their ongoing support. It means a lot to me. I hope this news makes them really happy that I've signed and extended my contract, I've signed da ting, made them happy!
“I just promise that me and the team are going to try, going forwards, to give them much more to be happy about.”
