Sporting Director Edu added: “We’re very happy that Karl will continue his development as an Arsenal player.
“He’s an exciting prospect and a popular member of the squad.
“We look forward to seeing him progress to the next stage of his career.”
Manager Mikel Arteta said: “Karl has continued to impress us with his attitude and commitment to getting better every day.
“We value being part of his continued development and I want to congratulate him on earning a new deal with the club.”
Karl will be looking to have more opportunities under Mikel Arteta next season with Aaron Ramsdale tipped with a summer move away from Emirates Stadium.
The Estonia international joined Arsenal in 2018 from his hometown club, Nõmme United, where he made his debut at the age of 16.
Karl began his Arsenal career as a scholar and turned professional the following year. During the 2020/21 campaign, he featured in the first-team squad for the first time in a Europa League game.
He spent the second half of the 2021/22 season on loan at Championship side Reading, making five league appearances for the Royals, and went on to make his full Arsenal debut in a Carabao Cup game against Brighton the following November.
