Football.London are reporting that Arsenal youngster Kido Taylor-Hart will sign a new long-term contract with the Gunners.

What’s the story?

It is being reported by Football.London that Taylor-Hart will put pen to paper on a new contract at Arsenal.

The 18-year-old left-winger has been in talks with Arsenal over a new deal since March.

Clubs in England, France and Belgium all want to sign the teenager, but he has now decided to extend his stay at Arsenal.

Football.London are also reporting that young goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo will sign a new deal as well.

Encouraging for Arsenal

It is very encouraging for Arsenal that Taylor-Hart has decided to stay at the club.

Given that the teenager is in demand, it must have been hard for the Gunners to convince him that his long-term future is best served at the Emirates Stadium.

After all, it is very unlikely that the teenager will get to play a lot of games for the Arsenal first team next season.

Taylor-Hart is a player for the future, and the teenager could make it big at Arsenal if he continues to progress and develop in the youth team.

According to Football.London, the teenage winger scored 11 goals in all competitions last season.
