Aaron Ramsey hopes Mikel Arteta can lead Arsenal to Premier League glory this season.
Wales player Ramsey played with Gunners boss’ Mikel Arteta for five years in the Arsenal midfield, and the Spaniard was the Welshman’s captain for two of those.
The bond between FA Cup winners Ramsey and Arteta runs even deeper as the Gunners boss studied for his coaching badges in Wales, something the two men often spoke about during their time together at the Emirates Stadium.
“It would be absolutely great [if Arsenal win the league],” said Wales captain Ramsey, who made nearly 370 appearances for the club before leaving north London for Juventus in 2019.
“It is still a massive part of me. I spent 10, 11 years there and for them to go on and win the league, I’m as much a fan as anybody.
“I still know so many players and members of staff there. The fans deserve it.”
Ramsey stated that he always knew Arteta would step into management after his playing days.
He said: “You could see his leadership qualities and the way that he handled himself was second to none.
“What he is doing now, definitely, you could see he was always going to be a manager one day, the way he thought and saw the game and how intense he was as well.
“It is absolutely unbelievable what he has done there, what they are doing at the moment.”
