Even with Ramsey missing, Cardiff enjoyed an improved season under Bulut, finishing 12th having narrowly avoided relegation 12 months earlier.

Now the Welsh club are hoping for further progress in Bulut’s second year at the helm.

Cardiff have signed Calum Chambers, Chris Willock, Anwar El Ghazi and Wilfried Kanga this summer, and are also close to sealing a deal for Manchester City midfielder Alex Robertson.

“I think everybody is a lot more comfortable and familiar with the staff. Now we are really trying to work on a style of play,” Ramsey said.

“These things don’t happen overnight. But last season we definitely took a step forward. Now we need to build on that again.

“I think you can see that we have tried to do that in pre-season and with the new faces, we have brought in some real good quality. I think the squad are in a really good place.”
