Unai Emery has received some encouragement in his quest to secure the future of one his key players at the Emirates stadium.

The Spanish tactician, who was announced as the Gunners new manager last week, has been assigned the task of convincing several key players at the club to stay.

One of them is Aaron Ramsey, whose contract only has a year left, as Arsenal look to avoid another situation similar to that of Alexis Sanchez.

However, much to the delight of the Arsenal faithful though, Ramsey has sent out a strong hint of his desire to remain at the Emirates stadium this summer.

“Of course. I haven’t spoken to him [Emery] at all yet, but I think it’s an exciting time for the club.” the former Cardiff City star said when asked about how he felt about the appointment of Emery as the new boss

“I can’t wait to get back there now.”

The 27-year-old, who is pocketing £110,00-per-week on his current deal, added more on his fitness after teaming up with his national side.

“I rolled my ankle but I’d taken the armband from Ash and I thought I had to stay on and do my bit for” Ramsey said

“It wasn’t the best surface in the world and my ankle is a bit sore.

“Hopefully, there will be no lasting damage and it will settle down over the next few days.”
