The Arsenal striker, who already has eight goals to his name this season, has signed a five-year deal.

Jerome Anderson, of agents Sport Entertainment & Media, claimed yesterday the 25-year-old was now 'the most complete player on the planet' and ideal for Nike.

He said: 'Considering Thierry's still just 25 and the fact he speaks English and Italian as well as French, he is a serious player both on and off the pitch.

'That is why Nike want to keep him on their books. Thierry has been with them for some time, but they wanted to extend his contract and we have done so.'
