Earlier today, Juventus confirmed that they would be signing Aaron Ramsey on a free transfer from Arsenal when his contract expires this June.
In a statement this evening, the 28 year old confirmed his departure, but also assured fans that he’d give his best in the last months of his career in North London.
He said:
As you may have already heard, I have agreed a pre-contract with Juventus Football Club.
I wanted to issue a personal statement for all the Arsenal fans who have been extremely loyal and supportive. You welcomed me as a teenager and have been there for me through all the highs and lows I’ve encountered during my time at the club. It is with a heavy heart that I leave after 11 incredible years in North London. Thank you.
I will continue to give the team 100% and hope to finish the season strongly, before heading on to my next chapter in Turin.
Kind regards,
Aaron
Ramsey will link up with former teammate Wojciech Szczesny in Turin next season, while Arsenal will have to find a replacement in the transfer market without the benefit of receiving a fee for a top class player.

Good to see you moving higher, I appreciate all you have done for the past 11 yrs in my club. I'm glad you understand why we had to left you go. You deserve a pay rise to the figure you are set to collect in Juventus, paying you half of that figure with Ozil at £350k would have crippled the club we know you love so much. Just like Henry who had to move on to the la liga to get the champions league he deserves as one of the greatest striker ever in the EPL, You aaron deserve all you will achieve in Turin. I'm glad we could at least develop you into the player Juventus will be pay so high to get. I will cheer for you in the juve shirt the way I cheered Henry in Barca.
