Rushie: What Ramsey told me about swapping Arsenal for Juventus...

Former Juventus striker Ian Rush is happy seeing Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey leaving for Turin.

Rush made the move to Turin when he left Liverpool in 1986, spending two seasons with the Italian giants before returning to Anfield.

"He's a fantastic player, a very reserved person, a man of the family," Rush told Corriere di Torino.

"Juventus care a lot about how their players act off the pitch and he's a genuine person, the right man for the Bianconeri.

"Why Juve? I spoke to him a couple weeks ago, he's always been convinced of this choice because he wants to win trophies and Juve has always been the first choice for this.

"He believes that they have more chances to win than other teams."
