Arsenal hand new deals to academy trio Eddie Nketiah, Matt Macey and Ben Sheaf after each make their first start for senior side this season

Eddie Nketiah, the Arsenal striker that shot to prominence with his double against Norwich City in the Carabao Cup earlier this season, has been handed a contract extension along with two of his team-mates.

Goalkeeper Matt Macey and midfielder Ben Sheaf have also signed improved terms after all three made their mark on Arsene Wenger's first-team.

Nketiah has made four first-team appearances so far this season, appearing off the bench in three of their four Europa League games, as well as his telling contribution in the cup.
