Unai Emery Hints That Arsenal Youngsters Could Be the Best Replacement for Aaron Ramsey

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has hinted that with Aaron Ramsay's departure from the side only around the corner, youngsters Eddie Nketiah and Joe Willock may be his most suitable replacements.

The two 19-year-olds starred during Arsenal's 3-1 victory over Burnley on Sunday afternoon and were instrumental in producing a result, prompting Emery to suggest their involvement next season could halt him having to buy a direct replacement for Ramsey in the summer.

Ramsey - who is set to complete a transfer to Serie A giants Juventus this summer - has been a permanent fixture in the Arsenal midfield for the past eight seasons, scoring and providing assists under Emery and former boss Arsene Wenger.
