Arsenal boss Wenger excited about Ramsey, Walcott preseason form

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was delighted with Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey in victory over Manchester City in Helsinki.

Wenger is excited by the form of his two young midfielders.

He told arsenal.com: "Walcott put in a great performance. I'm happy with both sides of his game - he defended very well and [set up] two goals. His game has improved tremendously because he's an intelligent player. When you're intelligent, you always improve.

"I have always believed in Aaron and I think he has shown again what a tremendous engine and what desire he has. His vision has improved and his tactical aspect has improved a lot. He's growing into a very strong player."
