Aaron Ramsey joined Juventus on July 1 as a free agent on a four year deal after his previous contract at Arsenal expired.
After a long wait he was finally unveiled in a press conference.
Speaking at the press conference Ramsey said he looked forward to working under Maurizio Sarri.
“I know from this coach, from his time last year in England, he definitely likes to play football and has his own philosophy and I’m sure all the players here will adapt nicely to that,”
he said at his press conference.
“I think that from what I saw last season he had a very good season for Chelsea, he got to two finals and won one of them.”
“He got in the top four and that is not easy to do so it was definitely success for him there but hopefully he can bring his philosophy and style to this team.”
Ramsey continued to have a hamstring problem which means that he is yet to join the team for full training.
It’s still not certain if he will join the rest of the team as they begin their pre-season in Singapore.
Aaron Ramsey admitted that there were several other offers on the table. After he decided to not sign a new contract with Arsenal
But he made up his mind after an offer from Juventus came through.
“Yes, there were other clubs but this is the right club for me and I’m so excited to be here and proud as well,”
he said.
“When I knew that Juventus was interested I couldn’t refuse that, it is a great club, one of the biggest in the world. “
To have that opportunity to come here and play for them is a dream to come and play at the top level.”
The Welsh international is not the first player from Wales to join Juve. As Juventus previously broke the British record transfer fee to sign John Charles.

“He is an absolute legend over here and for Welsh football as well,”
“He is definitely someone I can look up to and hopefully follow in his footsteps, he definitely took everything in and left his mark here.
