Arsenal must spend up to £50million this summer to replace Aaron Ramsey – because Matteo Guendouzi is not yet ready to fill his shoes, Andy Gray claims.
“Well you probably start at £40m – start at £40m,” Gray said. “If you want to replace him for what he’s got now.
“Listen, Guendouzi may be a player who comes in and in three or four years time he might be the new Aaron Ramsey, we don’t know that.
“He’s a young kid, they brought him from the second division in France. He looks a talent but he’s miles away from being Aaron Ramsey.
“So they’ve got to either wait two or three years to see if Guendouzi can become an Aaron Ramsey, and that’s not a given.
“Or they’ve got to look at and think ‘we’ve got to spend £45-50m to get a midfield player that can do what Aaron Ramsey does for us but will be doing for Juventus next year’.”
