Arsenal’s Ramsey has ‘signed contract’ ahead of Juventus transfer after medicals last week
AARON RAMSEY has signed his contract at Juventus after having his medical last week, according to reports.
The Arsenal midfielder is set to make the switch to the Serie A giants in the summer after the North London club offered and then withdrew a new contract.
The Welshman, 28, has fallen down the pecking order in Unai Emery's side this season.
But he is set for a fresh start alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Giorginio Chiellini in the summer.
According to , Ramsey has already put pen to paper on a deal thought to be worth over £200,000 a week, including bonuses.
The deal is thought to be five years, which will take the Caerphilly-born midfielder into his mid 30s.

Ramsey has been at Arsenal since switching from Cardiff for £5million in 2008 and has won the FA Cup three times.
He came off the bench to play the last 32 minutes of Arsenal's 1-0 defeat to West Ham last weekend.
And Emery's tweaking of the midfield has meant that Ramsey's influence as a box-to-box midfielder has dwindled.
But Juventus have been canny again in the transfer market, much like they did with former Liverpool midfielder Emre Can at the end of last season.
He will become the third Welshman to play for Juventus after John Charles became an Old Lady icon in the 1950s, while Ian Rush played 29 games in Turin in 1986 before returning to Liverpool.
