According to , Ramsey is looking for a major increase on his £110,000-a-week wages.

And the Gunners will be hoping that he does not copy the approach used by Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez at the Emirates.

The pair kicked up a fuss about their wages and backed the North London club into a corner until they had to make a decision.

Sanchez left to join Manchester United as a result, and Ozil nearly trebled his wages to £300,000-a-week.
