Club vow No player will be allowed to run down deal

Arsenal will put a stop to the club’s practice of allowing the contracts of key players to run down into their final year. “I do believe that a player’s contract should never go to the last year, as a policy,” said Raul Sanllehi, the new head of football. Aaron Ramsey is set to leave on a free transfer this summer and Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil were allowed to go into the final six months of their deals.
