07/02/2009 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arsenal's teenage midfielder Jack Wilshere has joined Aaron Ramsey in signing a new long-term contract with the Gunners.
The 17-year-old broke into the first-team picture at the Emirates Stadium last season, scoring once in eight appearances, with his lone strike coming in a 6-0 Carling Cup thrashing of Sheffield United.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger told the club's official website: "It is such great news that Jack has signed a new long-term contract.
"Jack made great progress last season, playing at Under-18s, reserves and first-team level and we all witnessed what a great young talent he is.
"At just 17 years of age, the potential is huge for Jack and we are all delighted he has committed his long-term future to Arsenal."
