Jenkinson praises Arsenal teammate Ramsey

Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson has said that teammate Aaron Ramsey is "the most in-from midfielder" in the world.

The Welsh international suffered a setback in 2010 when he broke his leg in a challenge with Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross, which kept him out of action for nine months.

He struggled to find his feet after his return but has has made an impressive start to the new season, scoring goals in wins over Sunderland and Marseille.

Jenkinson believes that the 22-year-old has put his problems behind him and is now showing the form that he is capable of.

"Talking about Aaron Ramsey, I've always thought he was a great player but he's been absolutely exceptional this year," the 21-year-old told talkSPORT.

"He is probably the most in-from midfielder in the world. I don't think there is anyone better than him at the moment.

"It's fantastic for him and for the team as well."

Ramsey joined the Gunners from Cardiff City in a deal worth £4.8m in 2008.
