Theo Walcott has signed a new four-year contract at Arsenal which places him among the club’s top earners.
The England forward’s new deal sees him earn in the region of £140,000-a-week alongside the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.
Walcott, who is Arsenal's longest serving player, suffered an injury-ravaged campaign last season but has been on form this summer, netting the winner against Wolfsburg in last weekend’s Emirates Cup.
The 26-year-old tweeted a picture of himself in an Arsenal shirt inside the Emirates Stadium with the caption: 'This is my home! Happy to have signed a new four-year-deal. Ready for the season ahead. Thank you to Arsenal and Key Sports Management.'
Arsenal have also confirmed that midfielder Santi Cazorla has extended his stay at the Emirates until 2017 after the club decided to take up the option of another year on his contract.
Cazorla tweeted: 'So happy to have signed a new long-term contract. Thank you to Arsenal and the Arsenal fans.'
Arsenal boss Wenger told www.arsenal.com: 'We're delighted to have extended the contracts of Santi and Theo.
'Both are top quality players who are hugely important and influential to our squad. As well as their huge contributions on the pitch, they both have a great deal of experience and are very popular off the pitch.
'We're very pleased with them both signing contract extensions, as it provides our squad with further stability of quality.'
