Prolific Arsenal 18-year-old Khayon Edwards 'signs new long-term deal with Gunners' as they stave off interest in starlet from Chelsea and host of Bundesliga clubs

Arsenal have reportedly tied down striker Khayon Edwards to a new long-term deal despite interest from a number of elite clubs across Europe.

The 18-year-old has enjoyed a prolific season at Under-18 level for the Gunners this term with 16 goals and five assists in 16 U18 Premier League games.

Edwards has also made the step-up to Premier League 2 football amid his rapid development and struck his first goal for the Under-23s in a 1-1 draw with West Ham United back in January.
