There are not many great No.10s in world football but Arsenal desperately needs someone who plays like Leicester city James Maddison who can be a good replacement for Aaron Ramsey.
. ‘The role was deemed a luxury in past, their job was to create chances and make a difference in attack.
‘Mesut Ozil and Dele Alli are expected to deliver without the ball and to be a defender for their teams too.
‘You have to be very gifted to do that and nine out of ten gifted players do not want to work without the ball. Maddison’s work-rate is good and getting better. ‘There is no question about whether he is technical enough for the top flight.’
Unai Emery has been urged to sign Leicester City midfielder James Maddison as a replacement for Aaron Ramsey. Maddison joined the Foxes in a £20 million deal from Norwich City last summer but has had an impressive debut season in the Premier League.
The 22-year-old has scored seven goals and registered six assists in 33 appearances so far, while his performances were rewarded with his first senior England call-up in October.
Ramsey, meanwhile, is joining Juventus on a free transfer at the end of the season, and former Chelsea, Celtic and Marseille striker Tony Cascarino believes Maddison is the right midfielder to succeed the Wales international at Arsenal. ‘I look at Maddison and I think, ‘Arsenal is your team.’ Maddison should be the man to replace Aaron Ramsey,’ Cascarino told The Times.
