Aaron Ramsey: What are Rangers getting in Wales and Juventus midfielder?

Not since Paul Gascoigne swapped Lazio for Rangers in 1995 has an arrival from Serie A to Scottish football caused such a stir.

Aaron Ramsey's loan move to Rangers from Juventus on Monday — hours before the transfer window closed — was a remarkable coup that made ripples throughout the football world.

But what are Rangers getting in the 31-year-old who comes to Ibrox looking to reignite his club career?

Rangers have completed one of the biggest Scottish deals of this or any other decade by enticing supremely talented attacking midfielder Ramsey to Ibrox.

The Wales international built a reputation as a world-class talent in 11 years with Arsenal, where Arsene Wenger hailed him as the «complete midfielder». Technique, vision, passing and incisive runs were all key facets of his game, contributing to his attacking effectiveness that yielded 65 goals in 371 games.

However, Ramsey's injury-dogged spell in Italy poses questions over his robustness for the rigours of a fight on three fronts in Scotland.

Having won three FA Cups with Arsenal, scoring the winner in the 2015 and 2017 finals, he joined then Italian champions Juventus on a four-year deal in summer 2019.

The Serie title was secured in his debut year, and the Coppa Italia followed the next season, but his overall impact has fallen short of a player earning a reported £400,000 per week.

Ramsey has played 70 times for Juventus in two and a half seasons, scoring six goals. Of his 49 Serie A appearances, 25 were starts and he completed 90 minutes just once.

He has never played back-to-back games in full for Juventus where, according to Transfermarkt, he has missed at least 34 matches through 13 separate injury issues.
