Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey scores off the pitch by purchasing Wales’ most expensive house for over £1million below the asking price

The Arsenal and Wales star kept the sale price under wraps when he bought the luxury pad in an exclusive suburb in the Welsh capital.

His “bargain” purchase of the magnificent five-bedroomed mansion Fairoak Farm capped a year to remember for the Wales star after winning the FA Cup.

He scored the winning goal in Arsenal’s 2-1 FA Cup Final win over London rivals Chelsea back in May.
