Aaron Ramsey has suggested his future lies at Arsenal after hailing Unai Emery's arrival as an "exciting time" for the club.

The Wales international currently earns around £110,000-a-week and would expect double that figure so that it is more in line with the club's highest earners, Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Ramsey is not the only player set for crunch talks with the new head coach as Jack Wilshere will also sit down to discuss if he fits into Emery's project.

According to The Sun, the pair have planned personal talks with Emery hoping to convince Wilshere to remain at Arsenal.

Wilshere will become a free agent when his contract expires next month and he has already turned down a deal that involved a 25 per cent pay cut.

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger thinks Jack Wilshere will still be with the club next season.

Meanwhile, the Gunners are set to sign 17-year-old midfielder Yacine Adil from Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports in the Daily Mirror.

The France youth international is said to have rejected a new contract with the Ligue 1 club in preference of a switch to the Emirates.

Elsewhere, Atletico Madrid are preparing to receive big money offers from Arsenal and Liverpool for Jan Oblak this summer, report the Daily Star.

The 25-year-old has a release clause of around £88m, and according to to El Gol Digital, both Liverpool and the Gunners are in the market for a world-class keeper.

Sampdoria midfielder Lucas Torreira is attracting interest from Arsenal after a superb season in Serie A, according to Calciomercato.

Torreira has a £22m release clause and is seen as a possible upgrade on Granit Xhaka, but they will have to fight off competition from Liverpool, Everton, Juventus and Napoli.
