Former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has admitted he misses playing for the Gunners in the Premier League.
Ramsey joined Arsenal as a teenager and quickly became a crowd favourite at the Emirates after spending a decade with them.
The club had wanted to keep him before changing its mind and Ramsey moved to Juventus as a free agent in 2019.
The Welshman now plays for Nice in France, where he seems revived. He was speaking about the clubs he has played for before now and said to L’Equipe via Sport Witness:
“It’s a very tough league (Ligue 1), very athletic, and many teams want to qualify for the Champions League.
“It goes from goal to goal whereas Serie A is more tactical, more defensive with low blocks. In Italy, the difference between the top and the bottom of the table is greater.
“After that, the Premier League is another world, it’s a different game and I won’t lie, I miss it. I had great seasons at Arsenal but I’m happy here.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Arsenal is one of the best clubs in the world and we have groomed some of the finest talents around.
It is hard not to see a player who has played for us and did not miss the experience.
However, we have moved on and hopefully, the present group of players will make themselves new heroes by winning the league title at the end of this season.

Yes Arsenal needs a box to box midfielder like Ramsey, maybe thats a role the Caicedo kid could fill, arriving late in the box to devastating effect.
But Arsenal will also need a young and powerful midfielder to alternate with Partey.
Good to hear Aaron Ramsey saying that Ligue 1 is a tough, athletic..league.by the way he is not the first one who having experienced it,says it. I’m tired of people calling it “farmers’league”.not taking into account that year in year out,big clubs pillage it.
But Ramsey is way overstating the French league which, apart from one or two top teams, is way below our Prem level in depth and all round quality.
Take out that PSG awful sports washing club and you have not much left of quality, despite RAMSEYS BRAVADO.
How often do you watch la Ligue 1 Jon?by the way I never said that la Ligue 1 was better than the PL but calling it a farmers’league is ignorant.by the way PSG are only 6pts ahead of Lens in 2nd place and 9 pts of OM in 3rd.the rest of the league is as competitive.one question Jon.where do the biggest clubs buy their players from? that’s right France,year in year out.British people are so smug about the PL not realizing what it is that makes it great!(best foreign players/managers/fans even owners.lastly,speaking of overstating,do you think that Hoddle,Waddle,Ramsey, Drogba and now Balogun are all overstating the quality in Ligue 1??
His football carrier is edging to an end i dont think bringing him back will add up,its better to have such great memories than coming back to regret like Ronaldo at Manchester United.
