Arsenal midfielder James Olayinka proud of new pro deal

Arsenal midfielder James Olayinka has signed pro terms.

The 18-year-old midfielder has featured 20 times this season across all competitions - and now he's desperate to kick on under the guidance of Freddie Ljungberg.

He told arsenal.com: "It's a great feeling. I've been here for about 11 or 12 years now, so to finally get to this stage is a dream come true. It's a proud moment for me and my family.

"Yeah, it's been a long journey and there's been ups and down, but to get to this stage is testament to the hard work. I'm happy that the club have rewarded me with a contract."
