Aaron Ramsey

Craig Bellamy is of the opinion that Arsenal have already lost the services of Aaron Ramsey, who came up with a brilliant goal during the weekend against Fulham. Ramsey is out of contract at the end of the campaign and Arsenal recently pulled off negotiations due to differences in terms of wages. Ramsey is also open to the possibility of an Arsenal exit, as he believes that he has achieved everything with the Gunners – according to Craig Bellamy. The former West Ham and Manchester City striker was a teammate for Ramsey at international level and play with him during the London 2012 Olympics for Team GB.

Bellamy is of the opinion that Ramsey will have no shortage of offers if he decides to leave Arsenal at the end of the campaign. The midfielder was already subject to interest from the likes of Manchester City and Barcelona in the past. Ramsey is expected to be subjected to intense transfer speculation come January, according to Bellamy. After having spent more than a decade at Arsenal, Ramsey also believes that it is time for a change. After joining Arsenal from Cardiff back in 2008, Ramsey has made more than 240 appearances for the club. His best season with the gunners was during the 2013-14 campaign when he came up with 16 goals in just 34 league games.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has revealed that midfielder Aaron Ramsey has personally asked to be substituted during the backend of the Premier League clash against Newcastle United. The north London club secured their third-straight league win after outclassing the Magpies by a 2-1 score but Ramsey could not last the whole game as he was subbed in the 80th minute.

Speaking after the clash, Emery appeared to blame Wales boss Ryan Giggs for using Aaron Ramsey for the entire 90 minutes of both Nations League games and suggested that had played a role in the fatigue experienced by the midfielder, he said: “He played with the national team too much, today he played 80 minutes and he asked to change. It was not a big problem, but he was tired to continue. I think it’s no problem.”

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has urged teammate Aaron Ramsey to stay put and sign a new contract with the north London giants. The Wales international has just a year remaining on his existing deal with the Gunners and talks over an extension are yet to proceed beyond the initial stage.

As such, there has been the speculation that the Gunners may offload him before the transfer deadline but Lacazette firmly believes the Welshman should extend his contract, he said:"Ramsey is really important. Aaron is there for maybe 10 years, he's a legend in the club so we have to be respectful for everything he has done. Of course, with his quality he can help the team to be better. He's an example for all the young players. Of course we need Aaron in the team."

Arsenal are reportedly continuing their contract negotiations with the representative of Aaron Ramsey, Sky Sports News claims. The Wales international has been with the north London giants since 2008 but the club remain unsure whether he would remain at the Emirates beyond the summer.

According to Sky Sports News, the Capital outfit are still locked in talks with Ramsey’s agent regarding a contract extension and they remain optimistic that an extension could be finalised in the near future. Ramsey presently has just 12 months running on his current contract and reports have previously suggested that the Gunners could sanction his sale, should he not come to terms over a new deal before the transfer deadline.

New Arsenal manager Unai Emery has indicated that Aaron Ramsey remains an important player for him next season and he is eager for the club’s hierarchy to sort out his future. The Wales international is presently the Gunners’ longest-serving player after having spent over a decade but his future remains uncertain with his contract expiring in 12 months’ time.

Speaking in a news conference, Emery highlighted the importance of the Welshman to his plans and admitted that he has been impressed with the midfielder’s application in training, he said: “This is one question for the player and for the club. In my opinion, I’ve said to Ivan [Gazidis], Raul [Sanllehi] and Sven [Mislintat] that I think he’s an important player for me. I’m very happy with him. For me, every day, every training session, he has the ambition I want. He’s working with a quality, the type of ability that I want. I want to work with him.”

Arsenal are reportedly confident of sorting out a fresh contract with Aaron Ramseybefore the close of the summer transfer window. The Wales international has already been offered a significant rise on his current £100,000-a-week wages with new boss Unai Emery keen on building the squad around the Welshman.

According to The Telegraph, the Gunners’ hierarchy have already placed a contract renewal on the table and they are currently waiting for a reply from the 27-year-old. Should the response be negative, the north London club are likely to offload the Welshman during the summer as they are keen to avoid him from entering the final year of his contract.
Ramsey has enjoyed a hot-and-cold relationship with the club’s faithful over the past decade but during this period, he has also provided some wonderful moments including the FA Cup winning goals in 2014 and 2017. Meanwhile, the Welshman has also become the club’s highest scoring central midfielder in history and the majority of the supporters are now keen for him to stay.

Arsene Wenger has admitted that he would not consider another managerial job in England as it could be a sense of betrayal to his former club Arsenal. The Frenchman ended his 22-year association with the Gunners last week after he oversaw a 1-0 triumph over Huddersfield Town at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Since then, the Frenchman has been answering questions related to his long-standing Gunners career and when asked about the prospect of managing another English outfit, he said: “It will be very difficult for me [without Arsenal. At the moment if I want to continue to work, I think I have to move out of the country, because my gut feeling at the moment is that I would feel I would betray my club by staying in England. People might feel that I've betrayed what I've built here. That is the problem I face at the moment. My club is here, my heart is here and will be forever. As I said in my speech on the pitch after the Burnley game, I'm a fan above all.”

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey believes former Gunners Mikel Arteta has the credential to succeed as a fantastic manager in the future. The Spaniard is currently one of the co-assistants of manager Pep Guardiola and together they have witnessed Manchester City secure the Premier League title this season.

In a report covered by The Star, Ramsey was quizzed about Arteta’s chances of becoming a future head coach to which he replied: “Mikel was a fantastic player for Arsenal and a great captain. He’s been under Pep Guardiola there, he was always interested even when he was playing here in going into a coaching role one day, I’m sure he’s learning a lot about the game and especially the way Man City have been playing. They’ve done fantastically well, so I’m sure that one day when the time is right, he’ll be a fantastic manager.”

Wales head coach Ryan Giggs has urged Aaron Ramsey to sort out his future with Arsenal at the earliest possibility. The 27-year-old has just 15 months left on his existing contract with the Gunners, and talks over an extension are yet to progress with the club presently focused on the future of Jack Wilshere.

Ramsey was not picked by Wales for the friendlies against China and Uruguay due to a minor injury, and during a news conference, Giggs advised the midfielder to stay put with the Gunners, he said: “I hope Aaron sorts it out sooner rather than later. Any player having talks with contracts you want it sorted out as quickly as possible.

Former West Ham United goalkeeper Shaka Hislop does not believe Aaron Ramsey would land up at Chelsea during the summer transfer window. The Wales international has just 15 months left on his existing deal and this has intensified speculation of him joining the Blues, who are said to be one of admirers.
