Aaron Ramsey says players will support Arsene Wenger during Arsenal crisis

Aaron Ramsey is adamant Arsene Wenger is the right man to lead Arsenal.

The Gunners boss is under increased pressure from fans – and the club’s second-largest shareholder Alisher Usmanov.

Russian billionaire Usmanov voiced his concerns over Arsenal’s worst start to a Premier League season after four wins from 12 matches has left them eighth in the table.

But Ramsey is confident the club can build on last season’s success as long as Wenger is in charge.

He said: “With what he’s [Wenger] done for this club and for us as a group of players, every time we go in we want to work for him and get results for him.

“Everybody’s in it together, and we know all about our qualities.

“Last season we had a great year, this season we wanted to build on that and hopefully we still can.”

Ramsey has also urged Wenger and his own team-mates not to be affected by any criticism they receive.

He added: “It is quite a testing time at the moment but one that we’re looking forward to and that sometimes you face as a professional footballer.

“When you have a few bad results on the bounce a lot of things are being said, but it’s important for us not to listen to that.

“It’s important to stick together as a team. We know all about each other, we know what we have to do and now we just have to show it on the pitch.”
