Ramsey was a menace to opposing midfields and back lines all tournament long, shining the brightest in a 3-1 win over Belgium.
A target of polarizing opinions from Arsenal fans, it was refreshing to see a panel of 13 figures within the game judge his play to be among the best over a span of 30-odd days. With the arrival of Granit Xhaka to help spearhead the base of Arsenal's midfield, it's not hard to envision this upcoming club season being an exciting and successful one for Mr. Ramsey.
