Arsenal hero Emmanuel Petit has urged his old club to go for Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez as a replacement for Aaron Ramsey.
Ramsey recently had a medical at Juventus ahead of a summer transfer, but Petit thinks he is making a mistake and believes Arsenal should have done more to keep him.
"I don't want to be negative but I don't know why he is going to Juventus, honestly," Petit told the Mirror.
"Serie A? It is not the Premier League guys. The Premier League is the best in the world, it is the most competitive championship.
"You see it every year, you have three or four teams fighting for the title. You don't see that in Italy, in Spain, or France or wherever so I think he is making a mistake."
Petit added: "I have known James Rodriguez from when he played for Monaco and I think he is a very good attacking midfielder.
"I believe he is a proper number ten, I like him in the middle of the park controlling the game. He has this quality - it's a mix of [Cesc] Fabregas and Isco - and I think he would be a very good signing for Arsenal."
