Arsene Wenger has told Aaron Ramsey he’s in a ‘strong position’ at Arsenal despite the club withdrawing a contract offer to the midfielder.
Mesut Ozil successfully used Alexis Sanchez’s departure to Manchester United to extract a record deal from Arsenal last February and Wenger believes his former midfielder is in a similarly strong position.
Asked if he would give Ramsey a new deal in the circumstances, Wenger replied: ‘We tried that before and it still can happen.’ ‘I don’t really know what’s happening at Arsenal. Sure, Aaron Ramsey is in a strong position now and he will use this position. ‘But I don’t know how far Arsenal will go in terms of giving him a huge contract. These things were once my responsibility, but not anymore. I’m happy about that.’
Manchester United and Liverpool are both interested in Ramsey and could bid for him in January to test Arsenal’s resolve. Should the Gunners choose to reject offers in the January transfer market, they face losing one of their prized assets for free in the Summer.
