Arsenal have been urged to make a move for Leicester City's James Maddison to replace the departing Aaron Ramsey.
Maddison, 22, has impressed during his first season in the top-flight following his summer move from Norwich City, and on Saturday he scored his seventh goal of the campaign in a 4-1 victory at relegated Huddersfield Town.
The attacking midfielder's form has also led to a call-up to Gareth Southgate's England squad, although he is yet to add a senior cap to his six Under-21 appearances.
And writing in The Times , the former Chelsea and Republic of Ireland forward Tony Cascarino says Gunners boss Unai Emery should look at Maddison to replace Ramsey, who will join Juventus on a free transfer in the summer.

"I look at Maddison and I think, ‘Arsenal is your team,'" Cascarino wrote. "Maddison should be the man to replace Aaron Ramsey.
"There are not many great No.10s in world football but Arsenal desperately need someone who plays like the Leicester City man.
"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."
