Former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has revealed he joined Italian giants Juventus in a bit to get out of his comfort zone.

Ramsey signed for Arsenal in 2008, his move to Italy ending an 11-year stay where he made 371 appearances for the club.

"Juventus is a massive club, one of the top teams around in the world so when they come calling for you it’s hard for you to turn them down," Ramsey told Foot Truck.

"I was in a position where I was at a club for a very long time and I fancied a change to get out of my comfort zone to learn a new language, hopefully very slowly."

"When you come here you get the feeling of how important it is to win. When you change the club you arrive at some point in your career where you just want to win trophies.

"It’s good being part of a young project of hopes for the future."
