Paul Merson hails Aaron Ramsey impact

Paul Merson believes that Aaron Ramsey can continue his form in front of goal after scoring twice for Arsenal in their 4-1 win at Galatasaray.

Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has backed Aaron Ramsey to continue his form in front of goal following his brace against Galatasaray.

The Welshman netted twice in Istanbul on Tuesday - including a strike from 30 yards - as the Gunners secured a second-place finish in Group D with a 4-1 triumph.

Despite doubts over whether Ramsey is capable of replicating the performances that he enjoyed last season, Merson believes that the 23-year-old can go on to have a big say for Arsene Wenger's side this term.

"He is the type of lad that can go and score six in six, without a doubt," he told Sky Sports News. "It's all about confidence and we've seen that he can do it – he's a really, really good player.

"If he had reached the heights of last season he'd be playing for Barcelona. That's how high and how good he was. I thought he was the best midfield player in the country last year – probably the best player in the country at one stage, with Luis Suarez, until he got injured."

Arsenal return to Premier League action on Saturday when they entertain Newcastle United.
