Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has claimed that it will be "important" for the team if Aaron Ramsey can remain among the goals this season.

The midfielder netted a late winner on Saturday as the Gunners started their Premier League campaign with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

Wenger now hopes that the Welshman can continue to be a threat in the final third for the rest of the season.

"It's important for us that he can score goals," the Frenchman told the club's official website. "It's a continuity of what he has delivered last season and that's good for us."

Ramsey scored 16 goals in all competitions for Arsenal during the 2013-14 campaign.
