Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey has developed into a key player for the Gunners since being signed by Arsene Wenger ten years ago from Cardiff City.

The Wales international’s contract with Arsenal is winding up, and he was strongly tipped to join Chelsea during the summer, but a move never materialised.

Gunners legend Paul Merson has revealed he’s surprised that Ramsey didn’t eventually sign for Chelsea.

“I am shocked he is still there,” former Arsenal and England forward Merson told Sky Sports.

“He should just sign now. I thought Chelsea might come in for him. But Arsenal is a massive football club.

“He plays every week for Arsenal. He could go elsewhere and might only play 15 games every season.”
