Arsenal boss Unai Emery can't fault Aaron Ramsey's attitude after it emerged last night that he was informed he would be allowed to come off contract in June.

Emery was asked about the situation after their Carabao Cup win over Blackpool.

He said, "The most important thing for me with Aaron is that I spoke with him last week and his spirit, his quality, his performance and his focus is with us. In training, in matches and again today and also on Sunday when he played 20 minutes at Crystal Palace.

"He played with this spirit and his focus with us and in training and every match, like today also, he is working very well."
