Axel N'Gando signs new Rennes deal

Rennes midfielder Axel N'Gando has committed his future to the French club.

The 19-year-old, who has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal and Manchester United, is regarded as one of the best young midfielders in France.

He had been expected to complete a move to the Premier League next summer, but the teenager has admitted his delight at signing a new four-year deal.

"I am delighted to sign for Rennes. This club has done everything for me and I am happy to continue to learn my trade here. I am not ready to go abroad. Maybe one day, but at the moment I am not thinking about it," he told Sky Sports News.

N'Gando is yet to play for the club this season.
