Also been deployed as a central defender on 4 occasions and as a central mid-fielder on 9 occasions, he proved that he can play in those [...]
When Arsenal signed Aaron Ramsey back in 2008 it was widely accepted that they had secured the signature of one of the most talented British midfielders in the country.
