Arsenal hero Robert Pires has no doubts about the value of Aaron Ramsey to Juventus.

Pires believes the former Arsenal midfielder is an ideal option for Juve coach Andrea Pirlo.

He told TMW: "He is doing well, so I am satisfied. The competition in Juventus is terrible because there are very strong players in every department, but every time he plays he is very consistent, has excellent technique and is often well positioned to score as he did on Saturday against Sampdoria. He made an excellent choice.

"I maintain that he is making a difference here too, because it is not easy to play in such a quality midfield. I think he can help the team and be decisive like at Arsenal.

"Yes, I know Andrea a little and I find that he is a young coach who is discovering how difficult the job of a coach is (smiles). And I expected him to bet on Aaron, because he is a very good player and a very good professional. For a coach this is important."
