Aaron Ramsey lit up the Emirates stadium with his stunning second goal against CSKA on Thursday evening. That’s why tying him to a new contract should be a priority for Arsenal.
Mesut Ozil was the best player of the match, but there was no doubt that the outstanding point thrashing Arsenal 4-1 CSKA belonged to Aaron Ramsey. His leaping volley, skillfully focusing on Igor Akinfeev has put Arsenal on the brink of the Europa League semi-final, will go down in history as one of the goals of the season.
It was Arsenal’s third and the second Ramsey as the Welshman was a constant threat for the visitors. It is a goal in the seventh minute but from an offside position, but his blade coolly dispatched from the reduction of Hector Bellerin, arrived shortly thereafter. In the end, it was just wide of the post from claiming a hat-trick.
His brilliant performance was a continuation of good form. After returning from hamstring injury at the end of January, Ramsey has identified six goals and one assist in eight starts. There was a hat-trick against Everton, an important goal in gate “Milan” to “San Siro”, and now this. The recent rise of “Arsenal” in the form owes him a lot.
Injury curtailed his involvement at times this season, but Ramsey was one of the best performers so far in General. In 25 games in all competitions, scored nine goals and provided seven assists. Its total amount is equal to Ozil, despite the fewer games.
Ramsey is averaging a goal or assist every 119 minutes, in accordance with the opt, which makes the current campaign it is most effective, because of its unforgettable 2013/14 season when he scored 16 goals and provided nine assists in 34 games to clinch the player of “Arsenal” in the same category.
It recently positive news for Arsenal, but the excitement is tempered to some extent by the element of uncertainty that surrounds his future. Contractual situation Jack Wilshere has recently dominated the headlines, and there’s no sign of an extension as he enters the last months of his current deal, but I’m more worried that Ramsey only for him.
Examining his future should be a priority. Midfielder “Arsenal” still requires surgical intervention, but there can be no questioning Ramsey’s place in it. The 27-year-old indefatigable endurance is an important attribute in the direction of Arsene Wenger, and his instinct for arriving in the opposition box at the right moment – just as he did for his match against CSKA.
Ramsey’s goals from midfield are invaluable for Arsenal, and he also has a knack for getting them at key moments. In 2014, it was a strike that ensured the FA Cup final Arsenal over hull city. Last season, he repeated the trick to see Chelsea again and to lift the trophy.

Of course, while Ramsey at Arsenal has not been without obstacles. His performance suffered when moved to the flanks in previous seasons, and his fitness was also a constant problem, with injuries interrupting his progress over regular periods of time with his broken leg against Stoke in 2010. Wenger, however, is encouraged by the progress he’s recently seen.
“Aaron Ramsey, he is always the same; [if] it can have a permanent presence in the side, without stopping,” he said on Thursday evening. “I personally think that he overcame his problems, he has no problems with injuries more and more.
“And when you can add the game after the game you see that he is not only involved in the construction of a lot, but he goes to the end. What has changed from 2013 is that he’s a much better finisher these days. He is calm, as he finishes consists. Before he rushed the end a little bit.”
Its importance is clearly not lost on his Manager, but with the constant uncertainty that surrounds the position of the French, makes the risk in the future Ramsey go unnoticed? The midfielder said there was “nothing to comment”, when asked about it recently, in February. “I think they were employed to bind other contracts at the moment”, he added.
It suggests there is work to do. Arsenal will try to avoid a repetition of the doubts that preceded the departure and new contract Alexis Sanchez Ozil this season, but they must act sooner rather than later. Dazzling display Ramsey on Thursday was a reminder of what he brings to Arsenal. It was also a reminder of the need to tie him down.
