Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey won't be reuniting with ex-CEO Ivan Gazidis at AC Milan next

summer, following the South African's decision to leave the club.

That is according to ex-Premier League goalkeeper and ESPN FC pundit Shaka Hislop.

The Gunners chief executive revealed he was leaving the club on Tuesday after nearly a

decade at the Emirates.

He will take up the same position at Italian giants AC Milan at the end of next month.

And following the announcement earlier this week, midfielder Ramsey has now been linked

with a move to the San Siro.

The Welsh international's contract is due to expire at the end of the season, leading

to speculation of a move away from the Gunners.

The 27-year-old is Arsenal's longest serving player, but seems set to embark on a new challenge

come next summer.

However, former West Ham stopper Hislop says he doesn't see Ramsey joining the Rossoneri.

He said: "This one is all because Ivan Gazidis has moved to AC Milan and now you put two

and two together.

"Aaron Ramsey's contract is up next summer.

"But still, I just feel that if Aaron Ramsey does leave Arsenal, it won't be in following

Ivan Gazidis.

"I'm going to put that down as a miss."

Gazidis played a key role in Unai Emery's recruitment as manager this summer, and the

Spaniard has paid tribute to the former chief.

"The first three months with Ivan were very important for me because he's a big person,

and a professional person too," said Emery.

"The relationship between us was very close for three months.

"We spoke a lot about football, about management, about how big Arsenal is and our responsibility.

His decision is a private one which I respect.

"I know Ivan is giving us the best next people [successors] to take the responsibility

to continue to do good work."

Breaking News - Bellew says Joshua vs Povetkin fight shouldn't have been sanctioned - Duration: 3:38.

The world heavyweight title fight between Anthony Joshua and Alexander Povetkin should never have been sanctioned, according to Tony Bellew

Joshua defends his WBA, WBO and IBF titles against his unglamorous mandatory challenger at a time when he has already been criticised for not fighting Tyson Fury or WBC champion Deontay Wilder, his significantly higher-profile rivals

As Joshua's trainer Rob McCracken acknowledges, Povetkin regardless represents a threat, but the champion's fellow Matchroom and Sky Sports fighter Bellew completely disapproves because of the Russian's record of having twice failed drug tests

The 39-year-old twice tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2016, costing him fights with Wilder and Bermane Stiverne

The WBC also fined him 250,000 US Dollars (£191,966), but Bellew, its former cruiserweight champion, does not consider that enough

Bellew, 35 and an increasingly respected figure within his sport, is convinced that the day will come when a fighter who has cheated will kill his opponent, and that largely for that reason those found guilty of doping should never fight again

'It's an absolute disgrace that these guys are getting to fight and continue,' he told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast

'This is not down to the promoters. This is not down to anyone else but the sanctioning and governing bodies, and it's an absolute disgrace that these guys are allowed to fight on because it's going to happen

'Someone is going to be killed at the hands of a drug cheat. It's going to be a very, very bad and sad day for boxing when it does, but it will happen eventually

'I don't know when, I don't know how, but it will, and when it does, I hope that fighter is locked up for the rest of their life because it's premeditated murder in my opinion

'I just hope that these sanctioning bodies make some kind of ruling on this before it's too late

' By installing Povetkin as Joshua's mandatory challenger and threatening to strip the champion of his title if he did not defend it against him, it was the WBA who granted the Russian such a lucrative position

'Giving time served bans is not doing anything,' Bellew added. 'Alexander Povetkin should not be even in this fight

It shouldn't be even taking place. 'I'm pretty sure Anthony Joshua wouldn't choose to face Alexander Povetkin, and not because he's scared of him, and not he thinks he's a brilliant fighter, because Anthony's shown that he'll face anybody

'Why would you want to face a cheat when you don't have to? You know this man is capable of cheating

He hasn't just fell by the wayside and made a mistake once. He's done it twice. It's not been a one-off mistake

'When it does happen for a second time, guys should be thrown out of the sport for life

'
