Aaron Ramsey 'good enough' to make £50m Barcelona move – Arsenal icon
ARSENAL midfielder Aaron Ramsey is 'absolutely good enough' to play for Barcelona.
Xavi emotional in farewell press conference
That is according to former Gunners star Perry Groves, who adds that the Welshman would be the perfect replacement for veteran playmaker Xavi.
Ramsey has enjoyed mixed fortunes at the Emirates this season, finding the back of the net just 10 times.
However, reports earlier today suggested that the former Cardiff man could be on his way to the Nou Camp after Xavi announced that he will be leaving Barcelona at the end of the season.
Ramsey's absolutely good enough [to step into Xavi's shoes]
And Groves reckons that Ramsey is the right man for the job, telling Talksport: "Aaron Ramsey has the passing range and the technical abilities, and more importantly you have to have the mental strength to play for Barcelona because of the pressure you’re under.
"[He’ll be replacing] Xavi because he’s going to Qatar. He’s been on the bench quite a lot this year. He’s absolutely good enough [to step into his shoes]."
