Unai Emery sends message to Aaron Ramsey ahead of Arsenal transfer to Juventus

Unai Emery wants ‘amazing’ Aaron Ramsey to end his Arsenal career on a high.

The Welshman will join Juventus in the summer after the Gunners withdrew their offer of a new deal earlier in the season.

But despite knowing he was on his way for several months he has continued to perform and was man of the match against Napoli on Thursday.

Emery, whose side face a trip to Watford tomorrow, said: “It's not easy for him after he signed for Juventus but his focus is to help us and his attitude is a very amazing attitude towards each training session.

“I continued speaking with him about doing something very important in the last matches here in two competitions that are very important for us.

“He wants to do something important for the supporters and I want to do something important with for him in his last matches here.”

The Gunners are still pushing for a top-four finish despite winning just five of their 15 away games this season and Emery insists their league position means there cannot be a psychological problem.

He added: “We are showing we are competitive and have a good mentality.

“At Watford, we need to be defensively hard and strong, like we are at home now, and in the attacking moments to use the best opportunities to find chances to score.”

Arsenal head to Vicarage Road looking to improve on a disappointing away record this season.

Last weekend's defeat at Everton was their sixth from 15 away games while they have drawn another four on the road.

Arsenal still face away matches at Leicester , Wolves and Burnley this season.
