One of Arsenal’s top youngsters has pledged his future to the club.
20 year old Jay Simpson, a star of the Gunners early round successes in this season’s Carling Cup, has signed a new long term deal despite not yet appearing for the first team in the Premier League this term.
Instead Simpson’s activity has been restricted to the reserve side and 3 starts in the Carling Cup, a run during which he scored twice for Arsenal’s team of fringe players in the 3 – 0 win over a full strength Wigan side.
Having spent last season on loan at Millwall, Simpson will be part of a similar arrangement next year when he joins West Brom in the January transfer window.
