Arsenal to snap up Monaco star as Ramsey replacement

The search for a replacement for Wales international Aaron Ramsey has already begun with the North London side Arsenal already looking the direction of French Ligue 1 outfit AS Monaco for creative midfielder Youssef Ait Bennasser.

It is already established that Aaron Ramsey would be parting ways with the Gunners after a number of years with Italian Serie A outfit Juventus reported as his next destination after it was claimed that a deal has already been agreed.

The former Cardiff City player held talks with the Arsenal board but his demand for a weekly wage was not agreed upon before he was told to leave the club as a free player.

However, Youssef Ait Bennasser has been identified by the North London outfit as that creative midfielder that can step into the shoes of the star player as he is known to master the precise movement style at the Emirates and the intricate passing to fit into the team.

It is expected that Youssef Ait Bennasser will be able to move straight into the team to make a big impact under the manager Unai Emery team.

However, a bid would be submitted in coming days for Youssef Ait Bennasser according to reports.
