Aaron Ramsey says Arsene Wenger's new deal is a massive boost to Arsenal's title plans.
The midfielder struck in victory over Manchester City in the Community Shield.
Ramsey told PA Sport: "It's great news and extremely pleasing for us as players that he (Wenger) signed that new contract, he's done so much in this game and for the game, and for this club too.
"We're delighted that he's committed his future to the club again, and we're all looking forward to working with him for the next three years.
"Winning the league again would put him up there with the best managers ever in this league, no doubt.
"He's been very successful, he's built some great teams, helped some great players and hopefully now we can go on from last season and be successful again."
