Liverpool set to bid for out-of-contract Arsenal star in January window

Liverpool are contemplating making a January bid for Aaron Ramsey, according to the Standard. The Arsenal star will be out of contract at the end of the season, meaning he can speak to non-English clubs in the January window.

Talks between Arsenal and Ramsey broke down last month and the club withdrew an offer for the Welshman, according to the report

The Gunner has attracted interest from a trio of Serie A clubs but wants to remain in England as his family is well-settled in London, according to the Standard

The report claims that senior figures at the London club believe Liverpool or Manchester United would try to take advantage of the contract situation, with the Reds considered favourites to make a move.

Liverpool are third in the Premier League but haven’t looked as sharp as they did last season. The report adds that Klopp is an admirer of the 27-year-old and we would be able to increase his current weekly wage of £110,000.

The Reds did sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from the Gunners last season and bringing Ramsey in the winter window could be the catalyst to get our midfield going again.
