Liverpool are the bookmaker’s favourites to sign Arsenal ace Aaron Ramsey.
Aaron Ramsey was the hat-trick hero for Arsenal in their 5-1 thrashing of Everton on Saturday evening, but speculation now surrounds his future.
The Welsh international was superb against Everton, firing Arsenal to victory in convincing fashion, but the Gunners may not fear losing him.
The Daily Mail report that Arsenal have yet to open talks with Ramsey about a new deal, and with less than 18 months left on his deal, concerns are growing.
It’s thought that Ramsey wants a ‘sharp’ increase on his £110,000-a-week wages at the Emirates Stadium, especially after Mesut Ozil, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were offered major deals.
Arsenal won’t want to encounter a similar situation to Alexis Sanchez, and with questions over Ramsey’s future in North London, bookmakers are pricing up odds for his next club.
Ladbrokes have made Liverpool the 2/1 favourites to land Ramsey, ahead of Chelsea at 4/1 and Manchester United at 5/1, whilst Juventus and Real Madrid are further back.
Liverpool pounced on one Arsenal contract saga to land Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain last summer, and repeating the trick to sign Ramsey in 2018 would be a major coup for Jurgen Klopp’s men.
Arsenal won’t want to lose the 27-year-old, and would certainly demand a huge fee for his signature, but most Liverpool fans would agree that he would represent a superb signing to go along with imminent arrival Naby Keita in midfield.
