Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes it might be the ‘perfect’ time for Aaron Ramsey to leave the club.
Ramsey’s pre-agreed new deal with the Gunners was retracted in September. The Welshman, who was mystified over why talks broke down could now leave for free at the end of the season.
Unai Emery has used the 27 year-old sparingly this year. Ramsey’s started just half of Arsenal’s 12 Premier League games and continues to be overlooked by Emery.
And Wright is convinced now is the right time for the Wales international to part ways.
“He is a top player, when you get a top player like that who is going for free, you are going to have teams of that calibre (Bayern) coming for them,” Wright said on his YouTube channel.
Ian Wright believes now is the right time for Ramsey to leave
“I think it might be the perfect time for us (Arsenal) and for him to move on.
“I think the boss should be given now the time, especially the money, to try and find maybe one or two replacements for someone like Aaron Ramsey, rather than giving Aaron Ramsey the kind of money he was asking for.
“Maybe we can get two, maybe three players at the 70, maybe £80,000 a week level to come in and really bolster up the squad and contribute more.
“I think it might be time for Aaron to move on and I think it is a really good move for him, so hopefully we can, whether it is this window or the summer, we can get a few players in that fill that gap.
Aaron Ramsey is Arsenal’s current longest serving player
“It isn’t something I’m too disappointed about, I’m pleased for him and I’m pleased for the new ruthless Arsenal in respects of the way they are saying ‘if that’s the way it is going to be then that’s the way it is going to be’.
“I don’t think we are going to see too many more players running down contracts and leaving on their terms anymore.
“Unfortunately we see with Danny Welbeck – he was running his down and unfortunately he got injured and this is the jeopardy, when you are trying to run down your contract.”
