In one of the more surprising but in hindsight, inevitable moves of the summer, Jack Wilshere left the Gunners to join West Ham United.
He left on a free after a career that promised so much but due to a raft of injuries, could not reach the heights it should have. Having been in this situation, he knows exactly what Aaron Ramsey is going through and he had a few things to say about that.
According to Talk Sport, This is what the England midfielder had to say about his friend and former teammate:
“He’s grown up to be a great player with Arsenal. They could do with someone like him. We know what he can do for the club.
“For me he’s a future Arsenal captain. I know he loves the club.”
It must be noted that this is quite gracious of Wilshere to say because both he and Ramsey were rivals for the same spot for a long time.
The fans recognize the importance of a player such as Ramsey but the board seems to think otherwise and retracted their contract offer as a result of that.
Though Ramsey has indicated that he will honor the rest of his contract, it seems more and more likely that he will be leaving the Gunners come the end of the season.
If he does leave the club, there will be no shortage of suitors for the Welshman and he can have his pick with regards to clubs.
Whether his next destination is England or abroad is the one factor that is yet to be decided as clubs such as Real Madrid and Juventus are said to be interested in him.
The Gunners are on a nine-match winning streak at the moment and the squad seems to be settling in nicely. If the Ramsey situation does lead to some problems within the squad, it will be the fault of the board. So, it is better if they try to find a solution for this as soon as possible.
