Barcelona and Bayern Munich want Aaron Ramsey

Arsenal are expected to face a tough battle to keep hold of their star midfielder Aaron Ramsey this summer, according to a report.

Ramsey was in top form for the Gunners last campaign, and scored the winner in the club's 3-2 comeback win over Hull City in the FA Cup final last month, thus ending a nine-year trophy drought.

Barring an injury that kept the Welshman away from the game for much of the second half of the season, the North London club could have been challenging for the Premier League title.

Football Direct News claims that the likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munich are aware of the Welsh international's excellent progress over the past term and are expected to make individual bids for the player's services.

However, it is unlikely to stress the Gunners' hierachy as the club are in a good financial position, with manager Arsene Wenger offered a £100 million transfer kitty to spend on top players this summer.
