Arsenal striker Dennis Bergkamp looks set to end his career at Highbury after signing a new one-year deal with the Premiership Champions.
The 35-year-old has been an integral part of the Gunners' unbeaten run in the Premiership and with his current contract expiring in the summer, there had been fears that he could leave the club he joined from Inter Milan in 1995.
However, the Dutch master put pen to paper today and is delighted with his new deal. "I am so pleased that I will be at Arsenal for another year. Next season will be my 10th with the club, and that just shows what Arsenal means to me," he said.
"We have a great squad and team spirit at the club, which we have proved by winning the Premiership this year. I hope I will be part of another successful campaign for Arsenal next season," he added.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger also hailed the news that Bergkamp will be staying and paid tribute to his striker.
"We are delighted that Dennis is staying with us for another season."
"He has once again showed throughout this year what an important part of our squad he is. Dennis is a great professional and I know his experience and natural ability will continue to help us greatly next season."
