Popular bookmakers SkyBET have made the Reds the new favourites in the race to sign Gunners midfielder Aaron Ramsey this summer, ahead of the Hammers who are second on the list.

The Welshman has been woeful for Arsenal this season, in a campaign that has been marred by injury and inconsistency.

He has made just 15 Premier League appearances this term, failing to score a single goal and chipping with just one assist.

The 26-year-old still has plenty of potential, however, and could go to the very top, under the correct management. His performances for Wales in the European Championships last summer proved what he is capable of doing, if given strict instructions and discipline, rater than the ‘free role’ he seems to be given at Arsenal.

And maybe an exit from the Gunners would suit all parties involved.

SkyBET make Liverpool 6/1 favourites to sign the midfielder ahead of West Ham at 8/1.

A move to Anfield would surely be more appetising for Ramsey than a switch across London, however, what with the European football that Jürgen Klopp would be able to offer.

The Wales international’s contract is set to expire in the summer of 2018, so he could be available for a reasonable price, should Liverpool or West Ham decide on making a summer bid.
