Arsenal are set for a major departure in 2019 with fan favourite Aaron Ramsey due to leave the club upon the expiration of his contract.

The Wales international has entered the last 12 months of his deal at the Emirates Stadium and the Gunners have pulled out of negotiations in recent weeks, leaving the former Cardiff City man set for an exit.

That news came as a surprise to many, as it was believed Ramsey was seen as a key figure in the eyes of Unai Emery, but it instead provides further indication of the vast changes taking place in North London during the post-Arsene Wenger era.

Eyebrows were raised on social media this week though as Ramsey's representatives broke their silence on the matter in a series of tweets that have since been deleted, suggesting that the midfielder did not intend to leave.

Fans had their say on the comments and we have gathered some of the best reactions below.
