Kolo Toure has committed his long-term future to Arsenal after putting pen to paper on a new contract at the Emirates Stadium.

The Ivory Coast international, who arrived at the club four years ago, has gone on to become the cornerstone of the Gunners defence.

The 25-year-old hasn't missed a match this season and has signed a "new long-term contract" according to the north London club.

"I can see myself staying here for the rest of my career," Toure told the club's official website.

"Why would I want to leave? I love my football here, my family is settled here and the club is ambitious. It is fantastic."
