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.
