Aaron Ramsey eyeing Premier League return next year

Former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey is keen on a return to the Premier League next year, Calciomercato claims.

The Welshman has endured an injury-plagued spell with Juventus, and he is now deemed surplus to requirements.

Despite this, he has excelled for the national team, and recently bagged a brace in the 5-1 home win over Belarus.

According to The Mail, Ramsey is eager to return to the English top-flight, where he spent nine years at Arsenal.

Newcastle United are deemed favourites to land his signature, but he will need to take a pay-cut for the transfer.

He is currently on wages of around £130,000-a-week after tax. The Magpies appear the only club interested as of now.

The Gunners have recently changed their transfer policy with the purchase of young players, and won't move for Ramsey.

Everton and West Ham United have been linked with his services, but his salary remains a potential stumbling block.

Even if he accepts a decent pay-cut, he would still be one of their top earners. His injury record is a concern for them.
