Arsenal have a made the right move to withdraw their contract offer for Aaron Ramsey.

That’s the view of Gunners legend Ian Wright.

The midfielder looks set to leave the club in either January or when his contract expires at the end of the season.

In recent years, the club have allowed a number of top performers to run down their contracts in order to negotiate a better deal.

Alexis Sanchez quit the club in a swap deal with Manchester United after he had entered the final six months of his contract. Meanwhile, Mesut Ozil was rewarded a new 300,000-a-week deal, signing with just five months left of his deal.

And Wright believes Arsenal’s stance with Ramsey was an attempt to regain control from the players in contract negotiations.

“What I do like about him and what I will always give him credit for, is that he never hides, never ever hides,” Wright told BBC Radio 5 Live (via The Express).

“No matter what stick he is getting, he never hides.

“I have to stick with Arsenal, they have to make this kind of stance, the amount of players we’ve lost in this fashion.

“I believe that Arsenal want him to stay, but I think they have to make this stance.
