AARON RAMSEY is growing “frustrated” with how his Arsenal contract situation is being portrayed, according to reports.
The 27-year-old was dropped from the starting line-up during the Gunners’ trip to Stamford Bridge over the weekend.
Ramsey still has not made any progress over signing a new deal, with his current one set to expire in 11 months.
According to Football.London, Wales midfielder is growing frustrated with how the situation is being portrayed.
Arsenal remain “confident” that they can strike a deal with the former Cardiff City youth player.
But Manchester United and Chelsea would both be interested in signing the Euro 2016 star.
Unai Emery opted for a midfield duo of Grant Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi in the sitting roles against Chelsea, meaning there was no space for the Welshman in the starting line-up.
The decision is unlikely to ease tensions over Ramsey’s situation.
Arsenal made similar noises when discussing Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez’s contracts last season, only for the German to stay at the club, while Sanchez moved to Manchester United on significantly higher wages.
Ramsey may also need to consider how Arsenal’s season goes, with Champions League football on offer at some of their top six rivals.
After losing their first two games, the dust is clearly still settling after Arsene Wenger’s departure from the club, with Emery still yet to make his stamp on the team.
Gary Neville was one of Emery’s unlikely allies as he backed the Gunners boss to implement his own style on the team.
