BREAKING: Ramsey breaks silence on Arsenal contract saga

Aaron Ramsey insists he will stay at Arsenal for the season rather than leave in January, after confirming the club withdrew the offer of a new contract. Ramsey said he wants to stay at the Emirates until his current deal runs out on June 30, 2019. 'Of course, yeah,' he said. 'I am contracted to Arsenal and I am going to do my best now this season to try and achieve something special.' He added: 'Everything has been going great with the club. We thought we were in a position where we had agreed a deal but that's no longer the case. 'So I just have to carry on playing my football and do my best for Arsenal this season and I'll leave the rest with the club now.' Asked if he was disappointed that the contract offer was withdrawn, he replied: 'That's a decision they have made. Things happen in football and you just have to get on with it and carry on playing the best you can. That's all I am concentrating on.' Ramsey was speaking after Wales lost 4-1 to Spain in front of 50,232 at the Principality Stadium, the first match at the ground since 2011. 'It was a tough game,' said Ramsey. 'Spain are a very good team and especially in the first 30 minutes we got caught out. That was the most disappointing thing. 'We created a few opportunities on the back end of the first half and a couple in the second half but we lost to the better team. 'We just have to hold our hands up and we weren't good enough. Spain capitalised. They beat the runners-up of the World Cup in Croatia 6-0 last month so they are in good form at the moment and we couldn't live with them at times.'
