Arsenal goalkeeper Deyan Iliev has signed a new long term deal with the London club recently, according to Arsenal.com.
The club officially revealed that the 20-year-old signed a long term deal with the club.
Deyan Iliev signed made only two appearances for under-21 side due to his finger injury last season. His injury problems have limited his playing time, he has not featured for the first team yet. He missed last season with a finger injury and this time he has suffered another injury which has sidelined him for long. But despite of this the club offered him a new deal.
A new deal for Iliev surely raise a question that will Arsenal ever need him in the near future?
Apart from his injury problems Arsenal have already three keepers in their ranks and the oldest among them is only 26-year-old which is a very young age for a goalkeeper.
Wojciech Szczęsny, David Ospina and Damian Martinez are all fighting for the first spot. Currently, Ospina, the summer signing is impressing in the goal.
The Macedonia international Iliev was a regular palyer for the under-21 side but his injury has given his regular place to another stopper.
