Aaron Ramsey confirms he will hold talks with Rangers over permanent deal

Aaron Ramsey updates on Rangers transfer talks as he reveals permanent deal 'conversations' to come

AARON RAMSEY has revealed that he will hold contract talks with Rangers at the end of the season about joining the club on a permanent basis.

The Welshman moved to Ibrox on loan from Juventus in January and it has been a stop-start half of the season for the former Arsenal man.

In flashes, Ramsey has shown his quality, but injuries have also meant that he has had to sit out a number of games.

Asked about his future, he said: “That’s to be decided at the end of the season, there is no update on that yet.

“I’m just looking forward to the final few weeks here and hopefully making it a very memorable experience for me.

“I’m sure there will be conversations to be had after the season is finished but right now I’m just focused on trying to win these two competitions with Rangers.”

Ramsey also hopes to play his part in the Europa League final this Wednesday.

He added: “There’s a lot of excitement around the club. We’ve put ourselves in an unbelievable position so we’ve produced some memorable results and performances throughout the campaign and now it’s one step further.

“We’re there so we have a chance to create history.

“It’s right up there. To play in a final of a European competition doesn’t come around very often.

“Unfortunately I missed the Arsenal one a few years back but hopefully I can make up for it in this one.

“We got to the final that year and lost to Chelsea but for me to miss it through injury was tough but hopefully I get that opportunity and can make up for it.

“These weeks are always a lot of energy around the place and a lot of looking forward to the kick-off on Wednesday.

“It’s the same sort of atmosphere and environment doing all these duties and building up and looking forward to the game.

“You’re one away from history.

“I know it’s very difficult to reach this stage so you need a bit of luck along the way but some of our performances have been brilliant.

“There’s a lot of quality in this squad so for us to have done what we’ve done, I’m not surprised.

“Now it’s just about putting one big effort to try and come away with the trophy.

“I came here and I knew about the atmosphere but until you actually experience it, it doesn’t give it justice.

“They’ve been absolutely superb throughout my time here and the European nights are special with the stand shaking and bouncing is quite unique.

“Hopefully we can now get together and give it everything."
