Steven Gerrard makes big Jacob Ramsey claim amid Arsenal transfer rumours

Steven Gerrard has heaped praise upon Arsenal transfer target Jacob Ramsey ahead of the Gunners' clash with Aston Villa on Saturday. Ramsey has been linked with a move for the Gunners in recent months, and could prove the ideal signing to solve Mikel Arteta’s midfield problems.

Amidst the club’s search for a new No.8, two current midfielders could potentially be leaving in the summer, with Mohamed Elneny out-of-contract and Granit Xhaka still heavily linked with a move to Roma. The 20-year-old Ramsey has had a breakthrough season with Villa, with seven goal involvements in 26 league appearances.

This includes a thunderous strike from outside the box against Arsenal in Villa’s 3-1 defeat at the Emirates Stadium earlier this season. Under Gerrard, Ramsey has really taken off as a player and the Villa manager has highlighted what makes the young Englishman so good.
