EPL: Arsenal under fire for letting key midfielder join another club

Former Arsenal midfielder, Robert Pires, has said that the club are “already regretting” letting Aaron Ramsey join Juventus.

Ramsey will officially become a Juventus player on July 1, after he left the Emirates following the expiration of his contract this month.

The Welshman has penned a deal worth in the region of £250,000-a-week in Turin.

And Pires said the Welsh midfielder will thrive in Serie A and has a great chance of winning the Champions League.

“Tactically Aaron will have a lot to learn, but technically he’ll keep developing every day alongside some great players,” he said.

“He made a really good decision going there. When you change country, you always change your way of playing and you always have to adapt to your new surroundings.

“Aaron is a very intelligent lad, so he can adapt quickly. But his team-mates have to help him.

“Arsenal are already regretting his transfer because he was a really important player for them.

“Aaron already knows it’ll be difficult to replace [now-Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Claudio] Marchisio, since he played at Juventus for more than a decade. That’s why the fans will have to give him some time, but the goals will come — you’ll see!

“Juve can win the Champions League next season, above all if they sign Rabiot and Paul [Pogba] too.”
