Aaron Ramsey joins Nice on free transfer after leaving Juventus

NICE BOUND: Aaron Ramsey has joined French club Nice on a free transfer.

Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey has joined Ligue 1 club Nice on a free transfer.

The 31-year-old had played for Juventus since 2019, making 69 appearances for the Serie A side before being loaned to Rangers for the first six months of 2022.

Ramsey, who won three FA Cups in an eight-year spell with Arsenal, has earned 74 caps for Wales and remains the youngest man to have worn the captain's armband for his country, who are set to play in November's World Cup for the first time since 1958.

"A new chapter with Nice," he tweeted in French, before adding in English: "I can't wait to get started."

Ramsey's new contract follows news that his compatriot Joe Rodon joined Ligue 1 rivals Rennes on loan from Spurs, with the option to make the move permanent.
