Unai Emery insists he wasn't involved in Aaron Ramsey's Arsenal departure for Juventus.

It was confirmed midway through last season that Ramsey would be moving to Juventus on a free transfer at the end of the season, and while Emery says he played no part in allowing the 29-year-old to leave, he feels he made a good choice.

"They were decisions made by the club and the player himself. The player decided to leave and he joined a big club," Emery told TuttoJuve. “Aaron will be very important for Juventus, as he shares their ambition.

“I complimented him on his choice, because he picked a club where he can win a lot. Juventus is a big team in European and world football.

“After so many years in England, this is a great challenge for him."
