5 possible replacements for Aaron Ramsey

#4 Nicolo Barella

If Arsenal are able to fend off interest from Inter Milan and Chelsea and obtain the services of Nicolo Barella, it will seem like Ramsey never left.

A key interest from many clubs for the 22-year-old Italian has risen in recent times. The midfielder from Cagliari can be compared to Lucas Torreira as a brash, competitive midfielder who is not afraid to tackle. Averaging 2.8 tackles per game, Barella has shown his defensive abilities this season.

Barella has a €50m release clause in his current contract which is slightly more expensive as compared to the other midfielders on this list. Arsenal sent scouts to keep an eye on the young midfielder in his game against Juventus.

With interest from the likes of Inter Milan and Chelsea, it seems that Arsenal might not end up signing Nicolo Barella. However, he remains to be one of the top replacements for Aaron Ramsey. Furthermore, he can perfectly allow squad rotation in times of injury as Arsenal will hope to put their best foot forward in all competitions next season onwards.
