Arsenal boss Unai Emery is hopeful Aaron Ramsey's contract situation can be resolved as he is "very important" to the Premier League club.
Ramsey has just one year remaining on his deal at Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal having already lost Jack Wilshere in the close season as he opted to move to West Ham in pursuit of regular football.
The Premier League's transfer deadline passed without Ramsey leaving and Emery now wants to ensure the midfielder stays long-term, although he confirmed David Ospina, Carl Jenkinson and Joel Campbell could yet leave for European clubs before August 31.
