Arsenal Chiefs Confirm New Strategy Regarding Player Contracts in Response to Aaron Ramsey Saga

Arsenal club chiefs have announced a new strategy to deal with players running their contracts down, revealing that those players who fail to sign extensions with two years left on their currents deals will be sold.

The news was announced at a fan forum prior to the club's 2-0 victory over Manchester United, featuring managing director Vinai Venkatesham and director of football Raul Sanllehi, who were joined by Josh Kroenke, the club director.

According to Metro, in the 90 minute meeting the three officials met with supporters to discuss the matter of players running down their contracts, a long-standing issue at Arsenal that culminated with Aaron Ramsey's free transfer to Juventus at the end of this season.
