Bayern Munich have reportedly emerged as favourites to complete the signing of Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey.
The Gunners have informed Ramsey that he will not be offered a new contract at the Emirates Stadium, leaving the Welshman free to leave the club in the summer.
A number of clubs in the Premier League - including Manchester United and Chelsea - have been linked with an approach for the playmaker, but according to The Independent, Ramsey is edging towards a switch to Bayern.
The report claims that the German giants feel that they are leading the race to secure a deal for Ramsey, who would be allowed to pen a pre-contract agreement as early as January.
Ramsey remains an important member of Unai Emery's squad this season, with nine starts and seven substitute appearances being made in all competitions.
