Unai Emery drops hint he regrets Arsenal's failure to tie down Aaron Ramsey

Unai Emery admitted he wants to "enjoy" Aaron Ramsey while he still can ahead of his summer switch to Juventus.

The Wales international netted in the Gunners' 2-0 win over Napoli in the Europa League on Thursday, proving once again how much of a miss he will be next season.

Arsenal had attempted to tie the midfielder down to a new deal earlier in the campaign as his current contract expires in June.

But Italian giants Juventus offered Ramsey a whopping deal worth £400,000-a-week - far more than Arsenal could stump up - and the Welshman has decided to join the Serie A outfit when the summer transfer window opens.
