Arsenal teenager Ramsey happy with Gunners progress

Aaron Ramsey believes his mentoring by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is guiding him along the road to success.

The 18 year old Wales international was snapped up from Cardiff after the 2008 FA Cup final for £5million.

The midfielder explained: "The manager has set me a target of 15 to 20 starts this season. We have little chats about my game, one-to-one and he does show a lot of interest in what I do.

"There is no question he looks after the youngsters like that, he has brought through so many young players. He has given them opportunities, developed them, and turned them into great players. I hope he can do that with me.

"He doesn't shout at you, he is relaxed and tells you ways that you can improve. He is also very quick to praise if you do something very well in a game.

"Like if you make an assist instead of trying to shoot yourself, then he will tell you how great you are but he will always tell you the negatives, too.

"He has a great influence on me, you must listen to what he says and learn."
