Jack Wilshere Says Arsenal Should Make Aaron Ramsey Captain Amid Exit Rumours

Former Arsenal star Jack Wilshere believes the club should be looking to Aaron Ramsey as a future club captain amid speculation he is set to leave the Emirates Stadium.

Ramsey's contract with the Gunners is poised to run out at the end of the season, and it's been reported that Arsenal withdrew their offer of an extension, setting up either a January exit or a move at the end of the campaign.

Wilshere, who is now at West Ham United, spoke to the Islington Gazette (h/t Chris Burton of Goal) and said he thinks Arsenal should be looking to build a team around Ramsey instead of letting him leave:

"[Ramsey has] grown up to be a great player with Arsenal.
