‘Of course,’ Ramsey responded when asked he was excited to work with Emery.
‘I haven’t spoken to him at all yet, but I think it’s an exciting time for the club. I can’t wait to get back there now.’

Is he captain material though? Not that we have a lot of choices really, but he just seems too quiet. Of course I ain't in the locker room or on the pitch, so don't know, but that's how he comes off.

Arsenal have offered a new five-year contract to Aaron Ramsey in their first significant move since appointing Unai Emery as head coach last week.
The Spaniard is eager to retain and build a team around Ramsey, who has one year left on his existing deal and will be sold if he fails to agree new terms.
Arsenal are determined to avoid repeating the mistakes made last summer with Alexis Sánchez and Mesut Özil, who were allowed to enter the final 12 months of their contracts, a decision which many at the club feel undermined their season and has had ongoing financial consequences. Sánchez was allowed to join Manchester United last January in a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but with Arsenal reluctant to lose two key players in the same month the club caved in to Özil’s wage demands and gave him a new three-and-a-half-year deal worth £350,000 a week.
Özil’s huge pay-rise created ructions amongst Arsenal’s players, as The Times revealed in February, and has complicated their attempts to keep their existing squad together due to the pay divide in the dressing room.
Arsenal’s offer to Ramsey is understood to be a significant increase on his existing wages of £110,000 a week, but as his next contract could be the final big one of his career it is likely to involve considerable negotiation before being agreed.
Ramsey is Arsenal’s longest-serving player having signed from Cardiff City ten years ago and intimated earlier this week that he wants to stay at the club, but will not be rushed into making such a significant decision. The 27-year-old is due back from Wales’ friendly international against Mexico in California today and is expected to hold talks with the club next week when Emery returns from a brief holiday to Portugal.
Emery is also due to meet Jack Wilshere next week to finalise the midfielder’s future before his contract expires next month. The 26-year-old was offered a new deal before Arsene Wenger left earlier this month and is hoping to stay at the club where he has spent his entire career, but wants to meet Emery before signing a new contract.
Danny Welbeck is also about to enter the final year of his contract, but has yet to be offered a new deal. The England striker is relaxed about the situation however as his focus is on preparing for the World Cup, and he is happy to wait until after the tournament to discuss his future.
