The Express claims that Arsenal have already found the perfect Aaron Ramsey replacement in Villareal’s Pablo Fornals.
With Welshman still holding a key role in the Gunners squad, it has become imperative for the club to find his replacement as much as it is to making defensive additions.
At 23 years old, Fornals is one of the midfielders in world football who can somehow replicate what Ramsey does on the pitch. Highly versatile, great creative abilities and a keen eye for the opposition goal makes the Spaniard the ideal fit into Unai Emery’s system at the Emirates.
Ramsey has shown us time and time again how important he is to this Arsenal side whether he starts games or even comes on as a substitute. With Mesut Ozil struggling to find minutes under the new manager and Henrikh Mkhitaryan dropping in and out of form throughout the season, it would be wise for Arsenal to pursue a deal for Fornals.
His release clause is reported to be worth only £17.8m which is well within Arsenal’s means for the summer. Villareal are also engaged in a relegation battle this late into the 2018/19 campaign which could further interest the midfielder in looking for a move out as soon as possible.
