Juventus midfielder Ramsey: Arsenal going in right direction

Aaron Ramsey has spoken of leaving Arsenal for Juventus.

Ramsey left north London for Turin in the summer on a deal worth more than £400,000 per week after a contract offer was taken off the table by the Gunners amid what the player calls "a lot of confusion".

He told BBC Sport: "Yes. It was in the end. There was a lot of confusion and a lot of things were up in the air. The decision was made and that was the situation, so I had to look at other options.

"Arsenal are going through a transitional period at the moment. They have many great players and a lot of talent coming through. They are definitely going in the right direction - but my situation now is at Juventus. I have an unbelievable opportunity at a massive club.

"I just want to be part of this now. Hopefully I can help my team-mates and my club achieve some great things on the big stage."
