The Premier League leaders have officially confirmed the news, with the winger opening up to the club website about the significance of the moment for him and his loved ones.

I'm feeling amazing. I think it's a fantastic moment for my family and for me. I feel immense joy to continue my journey at this club. For me, it was an easy commitment and I just hope to win everything here. 

The journey that I've been on, from where I started to where I am now, and the journey the team's been on as well, is a special one.  

I believe the next few years are going to be the years that we get over the line, and we're able to win trophies and make history for this club. We're back where we belong, fighting for everything.

Arsenal is heading into the North London derby with high hopes, looking to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to eight points. They're facing Tottenham Hotspur, who'll be under interim boss Igor Tudor for the first time. This is a big match for Arsenal, as they've led the table for 147 days this season.

A win for Arsenal would give them a significant advantage, but it'll depend on Manchester City's performance against Newcastle United the day before. Meanwhile, Spurs are looking to turn their season around under Tudor, and they'll be eager to cause an upset.
