Every Arsenal fan knows the situation that Aaron Ramsey is in. Their longest-serving player is in the final year of his contract and will be a free agent once we hit the summer.
After arriving at the Emirates Stadium, Unai Emery decided that the midfielder does not fit his style and choose to withdraw their initial offer. However, he has turned to the 28-year-old to bail them out this season and he did so in the clash with Fulham.
The Gunners hosted the Cottagers in their first game of 2019 with the aim of bouncing back from the 5-1 loss at Anfield. The north London side marched into the 2-0 lead by the 55th minute but Aboubakar Kamara's 69th-minute goal looked to turn things around for Ranieri's men.
This is when Ramsey was thrown into the mix and it didn't take long for him to make an impact. Four minutes after his introduction, the Welshman scored his team's third goal of the night to hand them security.
Aubameyang went on to bag Arsenal's fourth goal but it was Aaron who was the catalyst. After witnessing his contribution, Gooners were reminded how talented the Britishman and thus made a case for a new deal.
GOAL Arsenal 3-1 Fulham. Sub Aaron Ramsey fires home as the Gunners make it three.

Quick question: Why is he leaving?
The Emirates crowd agree singing: 'Sign him up.'
It will be a real shame if he goes. The fact clubs the calibre of Juventus are in for him says it all
Someone explain to me how Aaron Ramsey is being allowed to leave on a free

Why don't we let Aaron Ramsey leave on a free? Great idea.

Yes. Sign him up Arsenal.

Arsenal getting rid of Ramsey for free is utterly absurd. All down to Silent Stan. A cancer to this football club.

I love Ramsey and I’m praying for a miracle that he stays

He needs a new agent, Avid are appalling
Whether Emery will change his stance remains uncertain, but it's unlikely chants from the fans alone will spark a reversal. As things stand, Ramsey will be headed for Juventus, PSG, or Bayern Munich.
