ARSENAL TRANSFER NEWS: ROBERT PIRES WANTS THE GUNNERS TO SIGN THE UNSETTLED FRENCH YOUNGSTER TO REPLACE DEPARTING AARON RAMSEY

Finally, it is time for Aaron Ramsey to say goodbye to Emirates. After having 258 appearances for the London side, the Welsh Superstar is all set to join Juventus on summer.

Ramsey is one of the best box-to-box midfielders at the moment. Fate was never favourable for him. Ramsey and injuries were like friends. But every time he gets suffered from injury, he bounced back with more determination. He scored many crucial goals for the Gunners and the final one was against Tottenham on last Saturday.

Now the question is who will replace him? According to the report from Mirror.com, Arsenal Legend Robert Pires is hopeful to see French International Adrien Rabiot as the replacement for Ramsey.

 "Arsenal have the advantage of Emery having already worked with him at PSG, which should hopefully sway Rabiot to join Arsenal.

"He would be worth a big fee on the transfer market so the fact he’s free makes it a no brainer.

"If Emery can secure Rabiot then I think he’ll be able to fill the hole that will be left by Ramsey's departure."

The 23-year-old central midfielder began his career at Creteil-Lusitanos in short-term. He signed his first professional contract for Paris Saint-Germain on 2 July 2012. He has a record of 24 goals in 227 appearances for the French side.

Rabiot is no longer the first choice for PSG. The French International is out of the contract within three months and is desperately waiting to leave the French Champions.

Rabiot had been linked with a move to Barcelona recently. But the Catalan Giants ends up in sealing De Jong from Ajax. Due to frustration, the youngster fired his own mother from the agent role.

In three months, Rabiot would be available for free in the transfer market. With a lot of fruitful years to come, signing the youngster for free is definitely a bonus for any team. Considering the departure of Aaron Ramsey, it is the right time for Emery to make a move.

Liverpool is also in the race for Rabiot. The Reds have a clear advantage over the Gunners on a financial basis. Arsenal is undergoing a tough time with transfers. Emery has admitted that they cannot sign any players on a permanent basis.

The good sign for the Gunners is the fact that Emery had already worked with Rabiot during his spell at France. His relationship with the midfielder would make a possible reunion at the Emirates.

Also, Rabiot will get more gameplay time at Arsenal than crowded Liverpool. Future of Ozil is still hanging on the air. Ramsey is on his way out. Rabiot can make an instant impact at the Emirates considering the current circumstances.

The final decision is up to the club and the player. Within three months, Rabiot has the opportunity to choose his future. Emery can bring the best out from him if he joins the Gunners. #COYG
