Alongside the new signings, they have been working on contract extensions and gave Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri new long-term deals at the Emirates.
“It means everything to me, I’m so happy to have got it done,” Nwaneri said after signing a five-year contract. “This is where I feel at home, and where I’m going to develop the best,” he said.
“I’m very excited. I see this as my first real season and part of a proper squad in the changing room. I’m so excited for what I can bring to the team and how I can help the team.
“I think I’ve actually become more direct over the past few years and I’ve added more goals, so I’m excited for what will come next.”
