Dennis Bergkamp will stay with Arsenal after agreeing a new one-year contract at Highbury.
The Dutch striker's previous contract expired at the end of last season and he had been linked with a move away from Arsenal, with Bolton manager Sam Allardyce recently admitting he failed in a bid to lure Bergkamp to the Reebok Stadium.
But Arsenal confirmed in a statement this morning that Bergkamp has signed a new one-year deal with Arsene Wenger's side.
Bergkamp was delighted to have finally ended doubts over his future, and reiterated his desire to end his career at Highbury.
He said: "I'm so pleased to have signed a new contract. As I have always said, Arsenal is a fantastic club and it has always been my intention to end my career here.
"I'm delighted to be part of a great squad of players, which gives us a realistic chance of winning trophies again this year."
Bergkamp was also keen to praise Arsenal's handling of negotiations.
He added: "I regret that confidential negotiations with the club have received adverse coverage and much has been exaggerated. The club has treated me in a fair and respectful manner throughout the negotiations."
Arsène Wenger added: "I have always said it is important to retain the players we already have here so it's great news that Dennis has committed himself to the club for another year. He has so much to offer. Dennis is a special talent with vast experience and that will certainly help us in our pursuit of honours."
