Arsenal manager Unai Emery expects Aaron Ramsey to remain at the club until the end of the season and is confident he will continue to contribute after netting against Fulham.

The Welshman is out of contract in the summer and Arsenal opted to end renewal talks some time ago, with Ramsey now free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs and certain to leave the Emirates.

Bayern Munich, Juventus, PSG and Real Madrid are all speaking to Ramsey, but Emery does not expect Arsenal to cash-in during the January window.

At the moment hes working with us and I think yes [hes going to stay], Emery explained at his post-match press conference following Arsenals 4-1 win over Fulham.

He worked very well against Liverpool. Today he played 15 minutes and scored.

He helped us to take the confidence and good result against Fulham. I want this focus when hes playing.

Ramsey came off the bench in the second half to net Arsenals third goal, killing off Fulhams brief hopes of mounting a comeback.

Meanwhile, Emery subbed off Shkodran Mustafi at half-time, though it was not one of his usual tactical changes: Mustafi has a small injury, its a small problem.

He didnt feel well after the first half and he said to us to change. I think its not big but he wanted to play today but maybe we can give him some days for rest now. It was his hamstring.
