Simpson scored twice in the 3-0 Carling Cup win over Wigan

Arsenal striker Jay Simpson has signed a new long-term deal with the club.

The 20-year-old is yet to feature for the Gunners in the Premier League but scored twice in his three games for them in this season's Carling Cup.

Both goals came in his only first-team start - a 3-0 victory over Wigan - and he has also been an ever-present for the reserves in the current campaign.

Simpson, who spent last season on loan at Millwall, will join West Brom on loan in the January transfer window.

The London-born frontman scored eight goals in 46 games for the Lions last term.
