While much of the discussion regarding Arsenal’s latest contract situation revolves around Jack Wilshere, there is one precarious situation which the club needs to sort out in order to avoid a repeat of the Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil debacles which have courted headlines throughout the current campaign.
Aaron Ramsey is having one of his best seasons in an Arsenal shirt. The Welshman has been directly involved in a goal every 101 minutes in all competitions, compared to Paul Pogba (every 162 mins), Cesc Fabregas (262 mins) and Gunners team-mate Wilshere (363 mins). Alongside Fabregas, he is the only central midfielder to score 50-plus goals for Arsenal in all competitions throughout the history of the club, a mark of just how far he has come since joining as a fresh-faced 17-year-old from Cardiff almost 10 years ago.
