Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is confident that teenage midfielder Aaron Ramsey has all the qualities needed to be a major star for the Gunners in the future.

The 17-year-old Wales Under-21 international moved to the Emirates Stadium for £5million from Cardiff City in the summer and has already made a couple of first-team appearances.

Ramsey is likely to start in the Carling Cup third round clash with Sheffield United on Tuesday evening, with Wenger keen to push the youngster further.

He said: "I am very, very happy with him and I believe he will be a tremendous player for Arsenal.

"He has already improved some areas where you want to improve when you are seventeen-and-a-half years old.

"Aaron is a serious boy, he knows what he wants, is highly committed and for me he has all that is needed to become a good player - not only a good player, but a great player for the club.

"You want to take a little bit of time, this is Arsenal, we are top of the Premier League and you want to give the players the needed development when they come in under such a pressure to perform. He can do that."
