Ramsey, Cazorla & Zelalem sign new Arsenal contracts

The Welshman has been rewarded with an £85,000-a-week deal and the Spain star has extended his stay until 2017, while the teenager has signed his first professional contract

Aaron Ramsey and Santi Cazorla and teenage sensation Gedion Zelalem have given Arsenal a triple boost by signing new contracts, Goal understands.

Ramsey has penned a new £85,000-a-week deal that lifts him into the second tier of earners at Emirates Stadium, alongside fellow British stars Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott. Ramsey's current deal runs until 2018 and is worth £60,000-a-week.

Cazorla has committed to a contract that extends his agreement with the club by a year until 2017 and increases his wages to £80,000-a-week.

The two established stars have been joined by highly rated rookie Zelalem, who has signed his first professional contract. The midfielder, 17, has already made his first-team debut and is regarded by staff as a future Arsenal regular.

The triple signing is expected to be announced as a package by Arsenal, who recently tied Per Mertesacker and Tomas Rosicky down to contract extensions.

Ramsey's fresh terms are a reward for his outstanding performances in the 15 months since penning his last agreement.

The midfielder, 23, was Arsenal’s outstanding player in the first half of the season but has been sidelined since Boxing Day with a thigh problem, which he aggravated when he returned to full training at the end of January.

Cazorla, 29, has been a virtual ever-present in Arsene Wenger’s team since joining from Malaga in the summer of 2012. He has played principally on the flanks following the £42.5 million club-record signing of Mesut Ozil last August but he is considered by Wenger to be crucial to his side’s style of play.

The challenge of lung cancer November marks lung cancer awareness month. Lung cancer is a leading cause for cancer deaths in the world and is strongly correlated with smoking. Although the rates of lung cancer in sub-Saharan Africa is lower vs. the rest of the world, it is still important to discuss especially as the rates of tobacco use in Africa is on the rise - if the smoking rate continues to climb, dealing with tobacco-related illnesses such as lung cancer will become more common. Furthermore, secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in people who have never smoked themselves. Symptoms Lung cancer may not produce any noticeable symptoms in the early stages. In many people diagnosed with lung cancer, diagnosis is made after the disease has advanced. As many of these symptoms are general, many people don't suspect lung cancer. And by the time they see a doctor, often the cancer has already started to spread. Risk factors While the
