Anthony has decided to stay put at Bournemouth and sign a new contract.
The Cherries confirmed on Friday that Anthony has signed a new four-and-a-half-year deal, keeping him at the Vitality Stadium until 2027.
The 23-year-old has started seven Premier League games this season and come off the bench in another 10, contributing three goals for Bournemouth.
Anthony has shown promising signs this season and that’s ultimately why Arsenal were considering bringing him back to North London.

The winger stayed with Arsenal for 10 years but was let go at 16 with the Gunners seemingly feeling that other young talents were ahead of him.
Anthony has gone away, worked on his game and built himself back up to become a Premier League player with Bournemouth.
Arsenal were seemingly interested in offering Anthony an emotional return but he is staying on the South Coast unless the Gunners come up with a hefty offer.
