The 18-year-old forward, who has made two first team appearances this term in the Carling Cup against West Bromwich Albion and Liverpool, scored on his debut against the Baggies and was widely praised in the media for his energetic contribution.
A statement on Arsenal’s official website states:
“Arsenal Football Club is pleased to announce Sanchez Watt has signed a new extended contract with the Club.
“The pacy forward, 18, has enjoyed a strong start to the season appearing in both successful Carling Cup matches as well as all Reserve League fixtures to date, with four goals from his six starts including a brace against Birmingham at St Andrews.
“Joining the Club in the Summer of 2007, Sanchez (full name Herschel Sanchez Watt) proved his goal-scoring ability last season having a major impact on the Club’s double-winning campaign with league and FA Youth Cup victories, scoring twice in the Semi-Final before striking in both legs of the Final at Emirates Stadium.
“On the international stage the Londoner has been capped for England at both Under-17 and Under-19 levels.
“Everyone at Arsenal wishes Sanchez continued success with the Club.”
