Posted: 19 Dec 2012 07:53 AM PST

LONDON, Dec 19 — England's Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are among five young internationals to have pledged their long-term futures to Arsenal, the Premier League club said on Wednesday.

Midfielders Wilshere, 20, and 19-year-old Oxlade-Chamberlain, who made his international debut at Euro 2012, plus Welsh midfielder Aaron Ramsey (21) and England defenders Kieran Gibbs (23) and Carl Jenkinson (20) made up the list.

"Jack is certainly the best known, the leader of this group - but the other four players are exceptional footballers, and we're very happy that we could conclude their new deals at the same time," manager Arsene Wenger told the club's website (http://www.arsenal.com).

"We are delighted that these five young players have all signed new long-term contracts," added the Frenchman.

No details on the lengths of the contracts were given. — Reuters

KIEV, Dec 19 — Ukraine's football federation will decide next week whether to hire former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson to run the former Soviet republic's national team, the Federation said on Wednesday.

Federation officials met Eriksson in Kiev on Wednesday, it said in a statement, who together with his agent laid out the terms of a potential contract.

"The Executive Committee meeting will take place next week," - a federation spokesman said.

The federation added that they were also considering hiring local coach Mykhailo Fomenko.

Swede Eriksson, 64, has served as technical director of Thai club BEC Tero Sasana since September and has also managed AS Roma, Manchester City and Benfica.

Ukraine's previous boss Oleg Blokhin resigned in late September after failing to lead the team out of the group stages in the European championship, which Ukraine co-hosted this year, and accepted the job of head coach at Dynamo Kiev.

Ukraine had earlier approached English club manager Harry Redknapp with a similar offer. Redknapp subsequently took over as manager of Queens Park Rangers. — Reuters
