Arsenal are reportedly making progress towards committing Aaron Ramsey to a new long-term deal.
The Welshman’s current contract is due to expire in June 2019 but there is a positive signal that the midfielder will extend his stay.
According to The Telegraph, manager Unai Emery is keen to get a deal over the line with Ramsey as the club seek to avoid a similar situation with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil last summer.
It is added that the Welshman could be sold if an agreement is not reached but there is the optimism that the 27-year-old will commit his future to the club.
Towards the backend of last season, Ramsey indicated that the club hadn’t begun negotiations over a probable extension but it is now reported that he has been offered a significant pay-rise on his current £100,000-a-week wages.
Meanwhile, the Welshman has recently talked up the excitement of playing under new boss Emery following his vacation and the signs reflect towards the midfielder penning a long-term contract with the club.
Ramsey has been with the Gunners since the summer of 2008 and during this period, he has gone to become the club’s highest scoring central midfielder after surpassing Cesc Fabregas’ 57-goal tally.
Meanwhile, the former Cardiff City graduate has also scored the match-winning goals in the 2014 and 2017 FA Cup finals and his efforts are ought to be remembered by the club’s supporters for a long-time.
Regardless of this, Emery is said to be in the market for another midfielder, who could add some physical presence in the centre of the park. Manchester United’s Marouane Fellaini has been of interest to the Spaniard of late but the 30-year-old does not seem as the priority.
