Emmanuel Adebayor has signed a new contract with Arsenal, the London club have confirmed.
The Togo international, who smashed 30 goals last season, was the subject of much transfer speculation during the summer, with AC Milan and Barcelona both showing a strong interest in the £35million-rated striker.
However, the 24-year-old - plucked from Monaco in January 2006 - announced on the eve of the new campaign he would be staying with the Gunners and had agreed terms on an improved deal, which has now been sealed.
A statement on the club's official website read: 'Arsenal can today confirm that Togolese forward Emmanuel Adebayor has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
'Everyone at Arsenal looks forward to Emmanuel's continued contribution to the club over the coming years.'
