Ramsey is an Arsenal player

Add to Technorati Favorites

Former Wales and Everton captain Kevin Ratcliffe believes Arron Ramsey is an Arsenal "type" player...sorry if that title is a bit misleading.

Ratcliffe says Ramsey is a player who excites him:


"I would describe him as an Arsenal-type player.


"A player who receives the ball under pressure, is very, very composed,
can pick a pass and score a goal and is not afraid to make a tackle as
well. He's got potential but still a long way to go.


Kevin still believes that place for his development would be Everton, giving the 17 year old the best opportunity at first team football. Moyes has a proven track record of bringing players through from the lower leagues. His signings in recent seasons have included Tim Cahill from Millwall, Joleon Lescott from Wolves and Phil Jagielka from Sheffield United, with Lescott and Jagielka having gone on to make their full England debuts.

Ramsey is rumoured to have flown to Switzerland for talks with Arsene Wenger who has been very keen in his persuit of the youngster. Recent competition between the big clubs for another championship youngster Theo Walcott saw Arsenal win out, with the promise of the best youth development system proving too much of a draw.
