Eddie Nketiah, Matt Macey, Ben Sheaf pen new Arsenal contracts

Arsenal teenager Eddie Nketiah and two other academy players have signed new long-term deals with the club.

Arsenal announced on Wednesday that striker Nketiah, midfielder Ben Sheaf and goalkeeper Matt Macey have all penned contract extensions.

"We would like to congratulate all players on their new contracts and wish them every success as they continue their development with the club," Arsenal said in a statement.

All three have made their first-team debuts this season, with the 18-year-old Nketiah grabbing the headlines after netting both goals in a 2-1 comeback victory over Norwich in the Carabao Cup.

Sheaf, 19, has made one substitute appearance in the Europa League, while third-choice goalkeeper Macey, 23, was finally awarded his first two starts when regular backup David Ospina was injured.

The club did not disclose details of the deals.
