Arsenal manager Unai Emery has hinted that he would be willing to let Aaron Ramsey leave the club if the player is unwilling to sign a new contract, explaining that the 'interest of the team' will ultimately come first.
Ramsey is due to be out of contract next summer and could leave the Gunners for free unless he is sold before January or signs an extension.
Talks have been ongoing for months but no agreement has been reached. And while Emery desperately wants to keep the Welshman, whom Emery reportedly wants to make the new club captain, the new boss has acknowledged that only what is best for Arsenal will happen.
