Aaron Ramsey has entered the final of 12 months of his current deal and yet to commit himself to a long term agreement. Talks have been going on with his representative for a new contract over the past few months that have yet to result in agreement.
The London Outfit rejected a £50 million bid for his services this summer as they appeared confident of keeping him for a foreseeable future.
Premier League giants new manager Unai Emery even insisted before the start of the current campaign that he sees the Wales International as a key part of his future plans and has urged the club to offer him a new contract.
However, the midfielder has featured in all the club’s Premier League fixtures so far this season and came on as a substitute against Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. After losing first two games of the campaign, they have won their next 6 in a row.
But reports emerged on Thursday that talks over a new deal has broke down and the 27 year old has reportedly turned down club’s latest offer. With no new offer forthcoming it was suggested he will be made available in the January transfer window, with clubs like Juventus, AC Milan and Chelsea interested in signing him.
But Emery is confident that Ramsey will give his best for the club despite uncertainty over his future and wants him to stay focused.
“I don’t think the situation will affect his performances,” he told reporters as quoted by Goal, ahead of Arsenal’s meeting with Watford on Saturday.
“I just want to give him and the players the most stability so that they can be focused only on the games. I spoke about this situation in the pre-season and now it is the same.
“I have known and I’m going to know this same situation again because the football career for a player is very short.
“They are professionals for 10, 12 or 15 years but not more and they need to take the best performance and also work very hard in these years for their future and their family’s future.”
The Welshman, arrived at Arsenal in 2008 and has made more than 300 appearances for the club.
