Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey backed to shine with Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus

Aaron Ramsey has been backed to shine alongside Cristiano Ronaldo when he swaps Arsenal for Juventus.

The midfielder is expected to move to the Serie A giants on a free transfer in the summer as the Gunners lose another top talent.

Ramsey will become part of a select group of British footballers to ply their trade abroad and Ian Rush, who played for the Bianconeri for one season, has backed him to succeed.

"I think [Juventus] is a fantastic move for him," Rush told ESPN FC. "When I went there it was an industrial city but it's come on a million times better since I was there.

"I think Juventus are an amazing club. They've still got connections with the Agnelli family, Andrea Agnelli is the president there and Gianni Agnelli was the owner when I was there. So they are very passionate about it.

"I think he'd do really well, you've got Ronaldo there to play with and all that, so that's something special. But I think Aaron will be something special for Juventus and I'm sure he'll enjoy it."
