In a candid interview with Sky Sports, Aaron Ramsey admitted he is uncertain about his Arsenal future as he enters the last year of his contact. The Welsh star, who arrived in north London from Cardiff in 2008, is reportedly being tailed by Italian outfit Lazio and is said to be open to trying a new adventure overseas. Ramseyâs agents are in discussions with Arsenal, and although Sky Sports says new boss Unai Emery has âmade it clear he wants Ramsey to remain at the clubâ, the man himself gave little away when asked to comment on his future following a squad training session in Singapore.
Steven NâZonziâs move to Arsenal has stalled. The France international is said to be âwaiting for permission from his father before he can complete a moveâ. Unai Emery worked with the midfielder at Sevilla and has been chasing NâZonzi for weeks, but itâs claimed that the Gunners arenât willing to pay his full ÂŁ36m release clause and are trying to haggle down the Spanish side. According to Spanish newspaper Estadio Deportivo, NâZonziâs dad âholds a unique personal sell-on clause which would entitle him to a cash windfall if Sevilla sell his sonâ, which is why the asking price isnât budging. The way out of the impasse? Sevilla âmay be willing to budge on their asking price should NâZonzi senior agree to forfeit the clauseâ, says talkSPORT.
The Sun reports that midfielder Alex Iwobi has âsnubbed interest from Lazioâ and is set to sign a new five-year deal with Arsenal. The 22-year-old Nigerian international progressed to the Arsenal first-team from the academy and his new contract is reportedly worth ÂŁ70,000-a-week.
