Ramsey praises Arsenal transfers

Welsh midfielder Aaron Ramsey believes the current Arsenal squad is one of the best he has been involved with.

Arsene Wenger added eight new players to his first team squad over the summer and Ramsey feels that after being given time to blend, the squad has renewed confidence after a difficult start to the season.

Ramsey told Arsenal.com: “I just think the players that have come in this summer (have made the difference).”

“Obviously it takes a bit of time to get used to each other and I think that’s been the case. We’re finally gelling as a team and I think that’s a big factor in it.”

“I think it’s been the strongest chemistry for a while. Everybody’s getting on and you can see the confidence in the group.”

“We just hope to continue this run we’re on at the moment. We have some players in great form and as a team I think we’re doing very well.”

Robin van Persie will have the nation’s eyes on him on Saturday as he looks to add to his remarkable tally of 31 Premier League goals in 29 games in 2011 for Arsenal.

This season alone, van Persie has scored 13 league goals – the same number as all of Fulham’s players put together.
