Aaron Ramsey appears close to leaving Arsenal next summer after the Gunners withdrew the offer of a new contract, according to reports.
Arsenal had drawn up a new four-year deal for Ramsey, with the Wales midfielder’s current contract expiring at the end of the season.
But Arsenal have reportedly taken the offer off the table, seemingly leaving Ramsey likely to move on from the Emirates Stadium either in January or at the end of the season.
Arsenal could sell Ramsey in the winter transfer window, or the 27-year-old could leave as a free agent in the summer.
Ramsey joined Arsenal from Cardiff in 2008 for £4.8million, and is now the Gunners’ longest-serving player.
