Arsenal news: Ramsey decision 'shameful', Guendouzi in firing line, Lacazette joins the elite

There is plenty going on at Arsenal right now.

A late Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang goal handed the Gunners an important lead over Valencia in the semi-final of the Europa League.

Leading 2-1, thanks to an Alexandre Lacazette double, a 91st minute Aubameyang strike ensures the Gunners have one foot in the final in Baku.

But with Champions League qualification not yet secured in the league, there is work to be done, and that could have a huge impact on Unai Emery's transfer budget this summer.

Here's a round-up of everything that's happened in the last 24 hours.

Arsenal vs Chelsea: How likely is an all-English Europa League final? 

Lacazette and Aubameyang see off Valencia

Arsenal had to come from behind to beat Valencia 3-1 at the Emirates on Thursday night.

And they now have one foot in the final.

It was a far from vintage performance, and there were glorious chances at both ends that went begging.

You can relive all of the action and you can find out how we rated the players following the win .

Fans take aim at Guendouzi

Matteo Guendouzi was something of a surprise inclusion in Unai Emery's team against Valencia.

The young Frenchman was chosen over Uruguayan Lucas Torreira in the middle of the park.

But not long into the second half Torreira replaced the young man.

Guendouzi did not have a great time of it and the Arsenal fans let him know it, too .

Ramsey should not be leaving

Martin Keown knows a thing or two about being an Arsenal legend.

Ad the former Gunner, now a television pundit, cannot believe his old club have allowed Aaron Ramsey to go.

The Welshman has played his final game for Arsenal, having picked up an injury that will keep him out for the rest of the season, ebfore he moves to Juventus this summer on a free transfer.

It has been coming for some time, but Keown is still not happy with it.

He has even said the future does not look good without Ramsey .

 

Lacazette joins the elite

He scored twice, but it could have been more.

Alexandre Lacazette is really coming into his own at Arsenal.

Arsenal reporter James Benge believes the French striker is worthy of much more than he is getting at the Emirates.

"Lacazette's talents demand to be displayed at a higher level - the only real caveat you could place against his spot among Europe's Grade-A strikers is that he has not been able to prove his worth in the Champions League, a competition he has not played in since 2016," said Benge .

Can Arsenal take him there?
