One of the most improved players in the Premier League in recent times, Aaron Ramsey is no doubt a player who was looking like guiding Arsenal to a surprise title victory at the start of last season. In the end he was badly missed through injury at the start of this calendar year, though he came back just in time to fire home the winner for the Gunners in the FA Cup final, ending their long wait for silverware.
