Diaby signs new Arsenal contract

Abou Diaby has signed a new long-term contract at Arsenal that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until 2012.

The 21-year-old French midfielder, who signed from Auxerre in January 2006, played his 55th game for Arsenal in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Newcastle.

He suffered a broken and dislocated ankle against Sunderland at the end of his first season with the Gunners and spent seven months on the sidelines.

But he has played 21 times this season and is pushing for a starting place.
