Eleven years after he first played for Arsenal, Aaron Ramsey has completed his journey in London with the Gunners, which lasted from the 08/09 season in which he made his debut until the end of this season. With a move to Juventus on the horizon for next year, Ramsey was looking to end his Arsenal career on a high, but the midfielder's last match has already been played, against Napoli. The cause, an injury he suffered, one which will keep him out of Unai Emery's squad for the rest of the season. Ramsey gave the news on his Instagram page. Here were his words:
"It saddens me to say that the game against Napoli was my last game in an Arsenal shirt. Unfortunately it left me with an injury that rules me out of the remaining games. I am really disappointed not to play until the end and give everything for the club while I am still an Arsenal player. Unfortunately it’s out of my hands but I wanted to say thank you to the fans for your support.
It has been a journey, on and off the field, and so much has happened in 11 years. I was a spotty young kid coming in and I’m leaving a man, married, father of three boys and full of pride and good memories that I will treasure. It will be emotional this weekend - my last game at home. I Look forward to seeing you there and thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for everything."
