Chelsea were reportedly interested in signing the English attacker.

Speaking to the club's website, the youngster outlined his hopes for the future as he continues his development at Colney.

"I'm very delighted to have signed my first contract at this club," he said. I've been here for quite a long time, about six years, and I want to take the next step in my football journey.

"I'm very happy to sign my pro deal so quickly because it shows that I'm progressing through the ranks.

"I'm a forward who can play anywhere in the front line. My pace is probably my best attribute, getting into the box and creating chances. It's a big part of my game."
