Ramsey hopes to stay with Arsenal

Aaron Ramsey has said he has no intention of leaving Arsenal in the January transfer window, despite the offer of a new contract being withdrawn.

The midfielder confirmed that he believed a new deal had been settled before Arsenal pulled out of the agreement last month.

Arsenal are ready to listen to offers in January for Ramsey, who would be able to leave as a free agent when his contract expires in the summer.

‘Something special’

But the 27-year-old, who is the club’s longest-serving player, insists that he wants to remain for the rest of the season and achieve “something special” under head coach Unai Emery.

“Everything has been going great with the club,” said Ramsey, who can sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club from January. “We thought we were in a position where we had agreed a deal, but that is no longer the case.

“So, I have to carry on playing my football and do my best for Arsenal and I’ll leave the rest with the club.

“That’s a decision that they have made. Things happen in football.”
