Tyreece John-Jules pens new Arsenal deal: I deserve this new contract

Tyreece John-Jules has penned a new deal with Arsenal.

John-Jules, 18, has enjoyed an impressive pre-season with Arsenal this summer, and put pen to paper on a new deal on Monday.

After signing his new contract, John-Jules revealed that he has been taking tips from two of manager Unai Emery's key forwards - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette - in a bid to settle into life among the first-team squad this summer.

"I've been hanging around with Lacazette and Aubameyang, trying to learn from them on and off the pitch," he told the club's website.

“They've just told me to be positive, to be confident when I'm on the ball, especially with the first team.

"I've got to show what I can do and keep going. I can learn so much from them.

“It's always been a dream come true to play at this club. As always, I've been working hard, so I think I deserve this new contract.

"I'm just trying to push on now to impress the manager. I need to keep working hard, playing for the first team and when I get my chance, try to take it as well as possible."
