Ramsey: Arsenal don't need a big-money signing to challenge for the title

The Wales international is confident that the Gunners can rival champions Chelsea next season even if they do not add to their current squad in the summer window.Aaron Ramsey insists that Arsenal do not need to sign a marquee player this summer in order to win the Premier League.Arsene Wenger’s men finished third in 2014-15, 14 points behind eventual champions Chelsea, but racked up the longest winning run of the season and retained the FA Cup.Ramsey has previously expressed his desire to win the title in 2015-16, outlining his ambitions in an exclusive interview with Goal, and he maintains that the club do not need to splash the cash.
Every club brings in a new faces and a few will leave But even with this group of players now I believe if everyone was fit in the season we would have a great opportunity of competing for the Premier League,” he told the Daily Mail.This team has come on a lot over the last few years and if we can get off to a good start next season we will challenge.The club is in a good place. They don't have to let players go and we're building this team rather than players leaving and you have to rebuild around those left. It is a nice feeling and means that the group can stick together. The understanding is there already so it can only get stronger.Arsene Wenger deployed Ramsey in a wide role in the latter games of last season, and he admits that he hopes he will soon revert to his favoured central position at the Emirates Stadium.That’s my favourite position and where I play my best football. I'm very happy playing back in the middle for Wales. I had a chat with him (Wenger) a few times and he said it was temporary (out wide).It means I can time my runs into the box better. When you're wide you're taught to try and get in at the far post so the ball doesn't go straight across. From that central position you can use your instinct where to go rather than just try and get in at the far post.
