Aaron Ramsey

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.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that Aaron Ramsey may not be fit enough for the upcoming games against Ostersund and Manchester City. The Wales international picked up a groin problem prior to the derby defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, and this ruled him out of the Europa League last 32 first-leg, where the Gunners beat Ostersund by a 3-0 scoreline.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has hit back at Thierry Henry for the comments made in the aftermath of the Gunners' 3-2 win over Crystal Palace. Henry had claimed that there had been a split within the Gunners squad after a section of the players refused to celebrate alongside Alexis Sanchez for his first goal.

However, in the following game, the entire team went to celebrate Sanchez's contribution after his free-kick deflected off James McClean to find the West Bromwich Albion goal. The match eventually ended 1-1 owing to a controversial penalty for the Baggies at the end, and Wenger took time to indirectly criticise Henry for his thought.

Alexis endured a frustrating night at the office on Sunday, after the 3-1 defeat to Manchester city away from home. He played as a No. 9, a position at which he has recently proven to be ineffective. Sanchez lost possession of the ball eleven times and was trapped offside quite often during the match.

This was one of his worst performances in recent times. We are used to seeing him taking out his frustrations on fellow teammates on the pitch. There was one such incident with fellow teammate Aaron Ramsey in the match against Manchester City.

Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour feels the Gunners should have a succession plan in place once Arsene Wenger calls quits on his managerial career. The Frenchman extended his contract by a further two years earlier in the summer despite protests from a section of fans for him to step down.

Speaking to AskFans, Parlour insists that the club should look at former players including Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira if they are to pick a potential successor for Wenger. Vieira has already earned valuable managerial experience with Manchester City's sister club New York City FC but Parlour is hoping that either he or his compatriot Henry gets the opportunity to manage the Gunners.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted that Aaron Ramsey could take over the captain's armband in the future.

Current skipper Per Mertesacker has announced his decision to hang up his boots next summer while his deputy Laurent Koscielny celebrated his 32nd birthday earlier this month. As a result, the north London club are likely to be planning for a future leader with Ramsey among the favourites due to his previous experience captaining the Wales national side.

Wales international Aaron Ramsey has revealed his disappointment after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was sold to Liverpool on transfer deadline day. The Gunners accepted a fee of around £35m from the Reds for the attacker following his reluctance to extend his contract beyond the end of the season.

The England international was also linked with a potential move to Chelsea earlier in the week, but he snubbed the Blues in favour of Liverpool, who provided him the assurance of playing in the central midfield role.

Wales international Aaron Ramsey is eager to enjoy a full season of first-team football following his constant injury problems which have hindered his performance in recent years.
