#1 Mesut Ozil should be leaving Arsenal and not Aaron Ramsey

Ozil should be leaving Arsenal and not Ramsey.

It seems like a foregone conclusion that Aaron Ramsey would be leaving Arsenal this summer. The Welshman has reportedly signed a pre-contract agreement with Juventus and seems all set to join the Italian giants in the summer.

It is a pitiful end to the Arsenal career of one of the best Arsenal midfielders in the last decade. The Welshman would leave having scored the winning goal in two FA cup finals for Arsenal.

On the other hand, Mesut Ozil who signed a contract with the club last summer looks likely to remain with the Gunners. For many fans, ex-players and pundits, the reverse should be the case.

In Arsenal's two victories over their major rivals this season, Ramsey has played a starring role while Ozil did not even come on in both games. His overall goal and assist contribution in the PL this season is much more than that of the German.

In the Chelsea game, Ramsey was a tireless worker for his side. The game plan was based on him marking Jorginho out of the game and he executed it perfectly.

Ramsey's dedication to the cause has not waned even slightly despite his imminent departure in the summer. However, Ozil's commitment has been questioned many times over in his five and a half year spell with Arsenal.

Aaron Ramsey is far more suited to Emery's hardworking and pressing style of play and should be the one kept at the club. Mesut Ozil seems ill-fitted and should be the one shipped out to free up the wage bill.

There has to be a reason why Unai Emery has not played the German playmaker since boxing day but keeps faith with the Welshman. If there is a choice on who to leave the club between both players, Unai Emery's choice cannot be any clearer.
