Aaron Ramsey has been urged to “sign now” at Arsenal, with Paul Merson “shocked” that a midfielder with an expiring contract is still at Emirates Stadium.
The 27-year-old has entered the final 12 months of his current deal in north London.
Unai Emery has expressed a desire to get fresh terms in place, despite dropping the Wales international to the bench for a 3-2 defeat at Chelsea last time out.
Merson hopes an agreement can be reached with a key figure, with Ramsey likely to see more game time with the Gunners than he would if he explored interest being shown from afar.
