Welsh midfielder Aaron Ramsey has been an integral part of Arsenal for an entire decade now. He joined the club way back in 2008 and has since established himself as one of the London side's most creative and hard-working players, appearing in 232 Premier League games and scoring 36 goals.

Last season, he netted 7 times and made 8 assists in 24 league appearances and has also been a mainstay in the Welsh national side for many years. But with only a few FA Cups to show for all his time at Arsenal, Ramsey might be hesitating between signing a contract extension or seeking a transfer elsewhere.

The box-to-box midfielder is 27 now and was highly valued by former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. New boss Unai Emery is said to be keen on the Welshman but Arsenal have struggled to tie down major players to new contracts in recent years, and tensions seem to be rising behind-the-scenes as the end of the transfer window draws closer and the Ramsey situation shows little sign of reaching its conclusion.
