Theo Walcott has signed a new long-term contract at Arsenal.
The 20-year-old has become a regular fixture in the starting XI this season having joined the north London club from Southampton in January 2006.
“Theo is an intelligent player and has developed well this season,” manager Arsene Wenger told the club website.
Walcott added: “I’m delighted to have signed a new long-term deal. I’m so happy here and just want to say thanks to everyone who has helped me.”
And his Arsenal team- mate Robin Van Persie is close to agreeing a four-year extension taking him to 2013.

Two goals in the space of five minutes from Theo Walcott seemed set to give Arsenal all three points against Birmingham.
But it was not to be as James McFadden, who had scored from a free kick in the first half, scored the equaliser in the final few seconds of the game.
Walcott scored his first ever Premiership goals for the Gunners, the first in the 50th minute from the six yard box after Adebayor had appeared to have fouled keeper Taylor following a corner from Fabregas as the Togolese jumped for a header and managed an assist for the young forward.
However, the second goal showed the class of the talented Walcott as he moved from the right side to score with a left-footed shot from 18 yards in the 55th minute.
