Arsene Wenger says Aaron Ramsey could yet sign a new deal at Arsenal, but that the club will not budge over offering him a "huge" deal.

Sky Sports News reported last month that negotiations over a new contract had broken down. The midfielder has since outlined plans to remain at Arsenal until the end of the season - when his deal expires.

Ramsey said he was expecting to prolong his stay at the Emirates after his representatives felt they had settled on a new deal, but with those talks now shelved, he looks set to leave as a free agent in the summer

However, former Gunners boss Wenger insists there is still hope he could remain at Arsenal beyond this season.
