Thierry Henry: 'Aaron Ramsey should stay at Arsenal'

Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry believes that Aaron Ramsey should remain in North London, despite rumoured interest from Catalan giants Barcelona.

Thierry Henry has admitted that it will be tough for Aaron Ramsey to say no to Barcelona should an offer be made this summer.

The Arsenal midfielder has been linked with a £50m switch to the Camp Nou, despite the Catalan club currently being the subject of a transfer ban.

Henry, who enjoyed successful spells at both clubs, acknowledges that turning down an approach from Barca will be tough for Ramsey, but he has urged the Wales international to remain in North London.

"I went when I was getting to a certain age where I didn't know how much I had left in the tank and I had seen other players leave Arsenal," he told Wales Online.

"It is not an easy club to say no to but Aaron is still young and hopefully he can win a title at Arsenal because as a Gooner I don't want to see him leave, especially when I can see him maturing as a player and the future looking bright for him.

"I am a big fan and I think he has grown as a player and become a man. He wants the ball more, he wants to command the field, have an impact on the game and for the midfield to be his."

Ramsey played a full part in Arsenal's 4-0 victory over Aston Villa in Saturday's FA Cup final.
