Arsenal midfielder Aron Ramsey has urged Arsene Wenger to shop for
quality players so that they can challenge for trophies next season.
Ramsey, who has been on a private holiday in Kenya for the past week, told Goal.com that he expects Arsenal to better performance of the just ended season by winning trophies next term.
“We had a difficult season but thank God we fought our way back to
the Champions League. Tottenham gave us a tough competition but finally
we beat them on the tape for the Champions League slot."
“We must now start planning for next season and I know Arsene
(Wenger) will beef up the squad with quality signings. That is the way
to go and hopefully we will be able to challenge for top honors come
next season.”
The Welsh midfielder, who was speaking after meeting young players
from Ligi Ndogo who had paid him a courtesy call at Hemingways Nairobi
in Karen, remained optimsitc that Arsenal will fight for the league
title come next season.
“We need a trophy now and next season I have strong believe that
Arsenal will not disappoint. We must end this long wait and win a
trophy. We currently have a strong team and with a few additionals then I
know we will deliver the top prize.”
The 22-year-old is the first active Arsenal player to visit Kenya in
recent years. He jetted into the country on Saturday, May 25 and
proceeded to Diani in Mombasa and later to Ol Seki Hemingways Mara,
which is owned by local hotel chain Hemingways Collection.
‘‘I have loved my stay here, enjoyed the wildlife at the Mara and
the weather in Mombasa with my family. The hospitality has been first
class and am definitely looking forward to coming back some time in the
future,’’ added Ramsey.
On Kenya’s football talent, Ramsey, who began his career at promoted
side Cardiff City said, “this country has already produced exemplary
international footballers and I have confidence that with initiatives
like Ligi Ndogo, more talent is being nurtured for the future.”
The budding players who got the opportunity to meet and even play
against the Welsh midfielder before he flies back to United Kingdom were
aged between 10 and 12 years.
“Am very excited to have met Ramsey who is one of my favourite
players at Arsenal, the team that I support,” said Andrew Kalama, one of
the Ligi Ndogo players.....Source (Goal.Com)
