Togo international Emmanuel Adebayor has ended weeks of speculation about his future by insisting he will be signing a new contract with Arsenal.

The 24-year-old has been linked with moves to AC Milan and Barcelona throughout the summer, but now says he happy to commit his future to the Gunners.

"Now I can tell everyone that, yes, I will sign a contract," Adebayor told Arsenal's official website.

"I'm feeling very good here, very well here, and at the moment my heart is with Arsenal.

"I never told anyone I would be leaving this club, never ever. I'm very happy we've found a solution.

"I have three years left on my contract and I'm putting two or three years more, so I'm very happy being part of this family.

"When we started talking about my contract I never told him (Arsene Wenger) I'd be leaving this club and he knew my desire.

"My desire was to stay at this club so for me he's like my father, he's my boss so whatever he tells me I'll do it, so our relationship at the moment is always strong. There is no doubt about that."
