Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky has put pen to paper on a new contract at the Emirates.

The 31-year-old, who has been influential for the Gunners in recent weeks, has ended any speculation surrounding his future by committing himself to the North London club.

"It's a great honour to sign a new deal with Arsenal, I love the club and am proud to wear the Arsenal shirt," Rosicky told the club's official website. "It's felt like home since I arrived six years ago and I couldn't be happier to commit my future to the team."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger added: "I've always been a big admirer of Tomas's abilities and am delighted he's chosen to commit his future to the club. I believe he is an exceptional player, a natural footballer who is technically top class.

"He plays the style of football we champion here and shares completely our philosophy. He is always ready to work for the sake of the Club, always willing to put the team first. I have huge respect for him."

Rosicky moved to the Premier League side from Borussia Dortmund in 2006.
