Commenting on his new deal, Anjorin said : "It’s a brilliant feeling. I’ve been at the club since I was six years old so to get to this stage and then be offered another five-year contract on top of that is amazing.
"I had no hesitation but to take it straight away because to play for the club I always dreamed of playing for is really special for me."
