Arsenal’s “stupidity” in allowing Aaron Ramsey’s contract to expire has been slammed by Paul Merson, with the former Gunners star suggesting that Arsene Wenger neglected all deals apart from his own.
Having previously seen Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jack Wilshere run their respective terms down, those at Emirates Stadium find themselves facing more uncomfortable questions regarding an apparent lack of planning.
Ramsey is destined to depart the club this summer, with leading sides from across Europe – headed by Serie A champions Juventus – scrambling frantically to position themselves at the front of the queue for a much sought-after signature.
