Robert Pires issues bold prediction regarding Aaron Ramsey Arsenal return

Arsenal legend Robert Pires has boldly predicted that Aaron Ramsey will return to north London in the future.

The Welsh international left the Emirates Stadium in 2019 to join Juventus on a free transfer, bringing an end to a 11-year stint with the Gunners.

During that time, Ramsey established himself as a fan favourite and scored two FA Cup-winning goals, winning the competition three times in a four-year period.

Since moving to Italy, the 30-year-old has struggled with injury problems but has shown signs of improvement in Serie A.

Contracted in Turin for another two years, Pires believes that, eventually, Ramsey will return to Arsenal but, for the time being, should stay at his current club.

"He is doing well, so I am satisfied. The competition in Juventus is strong 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," he told TuttoJuve.

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

“He is very intelligent and knows how to adapt everywhere, Juve is a very big club and Serie A is improving him even more.

"He needs to stay a few more years and then he will return to Arsenal. It is my belief, I am not a fortune teller.”

Ramsey, who has made 14 Serie A appearances for Juve this season, is under contract in Turin until 2023, and will be 33 by the time his deal expires.
