Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici thinks Aaron Ramsey still hasn’t found his best position with Arsenal, and he believes the Serie A side will be able to fix that.

Ramsey has had plenty of positive moments over the years with Arsenal, but he’s never really been able to show a great deal of consistency from season to season. In 2013/14 and 2017/18 he was probably Arsenal’s best performing player, but in the surrounding campaigns, he wasn’t nearly as impressive.

Paratici thinks the reason for that inconsistency is that Arsenal aren’t using Ramsey properly, and he’d fit better in a Juventus system.

“Ramsey’s a player who still hasn’t found his position because he’s never played in a three, which is his role as it lets him make runs in behind,” Paratici said. “Failing that, he can play as a dynamic attacking midfielder. We don’t have another player like him in our squad. He has more technique than our midfielders but less versatile.

“He’s also less stubborn and less tactical, even though he runs a lot. He’s a man for the final pass and he has an eye for goal.”

We’ll have to wait and see whether Paratici is right, as it’s fairly common for players to believe they would be better suited to another position when they aren’t quite hitting their best.

Theo Walcott always wanted to play up front until he actually got a chance to do so and realised he was better out wide. Ramsey previously believed his best position was as a number 10 but that never really worked out either.

Of course, there are plenty more examples of players moving to a new position and finding new levels they’d never reached before. For Ramsey’s sake, let’s hope this is another example of that and he has a great season in 2019/20.
