Martin Keown has signed a new two year contract at Arsenal.

"There was no way I wanted to leave and that became obvious. Arsenal were aware that other clubs were interested in me and I don't think that surprised them," Keown said to Sky Sports.

Arsenal have announced a press conference for 1pm this afternoon, which is widely expected to feature the unveiling of Pascal Cygan. But don't forget last year when we expected Richard Wright.... and got Sol Campbell!
